More rumors are out about rightfielder Corey Hart. While there was a quick pop yesterday siting interest from the Rockies, there wasn't much there, including who the Rox would send back. A new one now comes out of New York, talking about a flip for Hart and right hander John Maine. Maine has been injured a lot in his past, including missing time last year with shoulder problems. I don't get this, maybe the Brewers think that Hart is going to start making more money than he is worth, but it seems so early to give up on him after only 1 poor season. Both players have a few years until free agency. A point to note is that the Brewers' new pitching coach Rick Henderson worked with Maine while filling that same role with the Mets, and likely was able to give a report. I still don't know who is going to be the Brewers' right fielder then...
The word out of the Wolf camp is that there are still 6 or so teams in the mix, including the Mets. Word is that the Brewers surpassed the 3 year 28 million dollar deal the Braves just signed Tim Hudson to. Now this is starting to get a bit too pricey, I would've been happy for under 28, pushing 30 is kinda scary. Apparently the Mets still don't want to go past 2 years.
Just a quick idea, outfielder Coco Crisp is available and on the cheap as he is coming off an injury plagued year and surgery. For something in the neighborhood of 3 or 4 million is he somebody that may be signed to plug a Corey Hart sized hole? I don't see him in right, but I do think Braun has proved himself enough to move over there. Also, if a move for Gamel to the outfield is in the books left field would likely be his spot. Crisp is a switch hitter with some speed who hits to a .277/.331/.407 line. He has mostly played center but spent plenty of time in left as well.
