Jose Guillen coming back?

Put in Kata in that trade scenario, instead of Spivey, and I'd go for that deal. Kata has trouble with breaking pitches, is starting to hit the wall as scouting reports catch up with him, and the D'backs have plenty of depth behind him at the position in the minors - Tim Olson, Scott Hairston...

Trade? Not now

Well, enough with the "its early still, lots of baseball left to play" excuses. IMHO, we seen enough games over almost two months to determine the obvious: (1) Matt Williams cannot hit right handed pitching effectively any more, the outside slider kills him from righties - the batting...
