Rumorville: The Other Cordero

PrintWe already closed games with CoCo --- maybe it's time for ChoCo:
While the Brewers continued talks with free-agent closer Trevor Hoffman on Wednesday, they were also planning to check in with former Nationals closer Chad Cordero when he takes part in a pair of throwing sessions this week. The 26-year-old right-hander, rehabbing a major shoulder injury, was scheduled to throw for scouts on Wednesday and again on Friday in California.
Before you start budgeting for Jamie's next Christmas present, keep in mind that 7 other teams either plan to attend this throwing session or have already been linked to Cordero this offseason. Moreover, he had major surgery on his pitching shoulder in July; a typical rehab time of 9-12 months means he could be ready to start the season, or he might not be ready until the All-Star Break, even assuming no setbacks. It sounds like the Brewers had kept him on their radar since he was non-tendered by the Nationals last month.
Cordero's stats are here.

Sooner or later you guys won't have the money to pay Fielder,
and I was thinking that maybe you guys could trade him for a good pitcher and sign Adam Dunn to a 1 or 2 year contract, maybe you guys don’t have the money, let me know what you think.
I have witnessed time and time again.
The contract that Fielder eventually gets will be way over his true value.
His terrible defense at first base makes him replaceable, hopefully by a Gamel type (if he’s not cut out for 3B).

All depends on the contract
He is still young and would be a very nice gamble if they could snag him for a mlc or something like that (which is the rumor I heard).
They must have liked what they saw
Melvin says he’s going to offer him the minor league deal with major league incentives.
