PrintHere are some NL East rumors floating around.
-The Braves have considered Toronto's Jose Bautista, Kansas City's David DeJesus, Florida's Cody Ross, Milwaukee's Corey Hart and Washington's Josh Willingham according to Mark Bowman.
-The Mets signed Chad Cordero earlier today according to Ken Rosenthal and are considering Octavio Dotel (a friends uncle actually!) and Scott Downs as well.
-The Phillies are in "heavy talks" to acquire Roy Oswalt according to Ed Price. If Philadelphia got Oswalt, it has been speculated that they would move Jayson Werth to a team like the Rays or Padres.
-The Marlins have Jorge Cantu drawing interest from the Giants according to Jon Morosi.
-The Nationals are reluctant to trade Matt Capps, Adam Dunn, and Josh Willingham according to Adam Kilgore.

I really hope the Giants don't get Cantu
and his .727 OPS

John Bowker: One of the 3 best OF's on the Giants roster
I don't necessarily think it's the best fit
but the Giants need some kind of hitting

We do
but an OF is probably a better fit (unless we can get a Prince Fielder type). I think David DeJesus would be the best fit, but if he’s unavailable then I’d like Luke Scott.

Do you think they need on base or power?
I’m going to the Yankees game Friday against the Royals and i’m looking forward to seeing DeJesus and scouting him sort of

Ideally both, of course
Probably power because we don’t have a true clean up hitter-right now Buster Posey is our clean up hitter, and while he appears to be the Giants best prospect since Will Clark, he isn’t projected to have a huge amount of power.
Also about DeJesus-I saw him play a few weeks ago and the one thing that surprised me about him is how much natural speed he has. I was under the impression that he had slightly above average speed- but he looked like a burner.

Why not Adam Dunn?
Lacks speed obviously, but he gives power and gets on base if you can deal with the strikeouts

I would like Dunn
but apparently Rizzo is asking for the sun & the moon and Sabean doesn’t like “rental players”.

Ah makes sense
The Giants were actually my preseason NL Champions prediction, but they’re making me reluctant to keep the pick with the lack of getting hitting

We're actually playing really well right now
We need to play better against teams in our division (especially the Padres) but I still think we have a good chance to get to the playoffs and with our rotation we have a good chance to go far.

Just clarifying
When was the last time they made it? Not too much postseason experience, I really want to see them make it to see how far they go

2003 was the last time we were in the playoffs

I want them or the Padres
Rockies don’t interest me much and the Dodgers don’t really deserve it in my opinion

Hopefully DeJesus didn't hurt his hand WAY too badly last night
I think I heard it was a thumb sprain?

I actually feel bad for all parties involved
For the Royals: Just their luck, their best trade candidate gets hurt, no prospects for them
For DeJesus: From being probably traded to playoff team to being out for season with Royals.
For other teams: one less guy they can get

The Braves are never going to get Corey Hart.

The Nats should move Capps while his stock is high. He could get something valuable in return. Plus, Storen is ready to step into the closer role.
Why not us? Why not now?
I completely agree
Especially with the weak bullpen market

I just hope the Phillies miss the playoffs
That would be just as sweet as Boston missing

How about
that rumor of a three team trade with Werth coming to Boston?
