Off season trade idea

[PDXChris]

Aramis Ramirez for Chad Tracey and 2 minor leaguers like Dustin Nippert and Scott Hairston.


I think the Cubs are going to look since the option is a mutual option and Ramirez wants a new contract and the Cubs to not want to pay any more. They would get a cheaper Tracey and might take the chance that he can hit 300 again and they already have power in Lee and they can use Hairston in the outfield were they are week and they need pitching and many think Nippert can still be a good starter. Aramis is 28, have 33 homers and 100 RBI's on a terrible Cubs team and have has 30 plus homers and 100 RBI's in 4 of 6 years. He also hits ofr decent average. He is hitting 285 with no support around him this year since Lee has been out most of the year.

Any thoughts.

Aramis = bum. But if he can hit 5th or 6th, maybe.

I beleive Ramirez can opt out if his contract this off-season.......anyways....I beleive the D'backs should focus on really solidifying the pitching. I'm much less concerned with the offense going foward. As the young guys get better, so to will the offense.
