Should D-Backs go after Juan Gone?

[mark1]

He doesn't look like he wants to go to the Expos, and obviously Texas wants to dump him. The Expos were going to give Texas two minor leaguers for him.

Thoughts?

Lets see...a club house cancer who has some pop to his bat, a huge contract and is in the decline of his career

Hmmmm....sounds familiar

LOL!!! I was going to say "No efin way," but you said it better.

Does anyone have a theory why our own Brian Gordon doesn't even make the discussion radar for the club? Free swinging, OK, but too much so?

One big difference. Gonzalez can still hit.

I’m not advocating another 5-year $50 million deal for a another 33 year-old RH power hitter. If Texas wants to move him for lower rate pitching talent (a.k.a. not Webb) and will also pick up the majority of the $13 million tab, I would be all for it. Send Bautista or Finley the other way and you have a big bat for one season at the cost of $3-5 mill.

Juan Gon wont go

Because of his no trade contract he wont move without getting a big money contract extension.


NOT GON-na happen
