Lets be logical about a Figgins/Glaus trade (I should prob start a new thread). Figgins, while the best utility man in the Bigs, plays primarily 3B for the Angels. They have Orlando Cabrera who is a very capable leadoff man if Figgins were to be dealt. If I'm Byrnes, I would seriously consider asking for only Figgins in this deal. Manny to Anaheim, Glaus to Bos, and Figgins here. It would be alot easier if Glaus went to Anaheim and filled the 3B hole. Still, if Glaus went to Boston the Angles could finally let Dallas McPherson play 3B has they have been talking about him for ten years now. The big dilemna comes down to dollars- Glaus is due 30 somethin million and Figgins makes less than a mill a year. The Angels might not go for it but if they get desperate enough for a bat and Byrnes stays stern enough, he moght be able to pull it off. Then, use some of the money freed up to extend Figgins, SIGN UPTON, and go after some pitching. A big IF but def worth the shot.
Imagine that lineup 3 years from now:
1B-Jackson/?
2B-Drew/Upton/Figgins
SS-Drew/Upton/Figgins
3B-Tracy/Figgins
RF-??
CF-Figgins/Terrero or ?
LF-Quentin
C- Estrada and Montero
