I heard first hand, that Rivera is very slow afield and would love to see them get Granderson. Only they know the potential of Wood. His value will diminish, if he is not traded now. But he looks good to me. We'll see. Lackey wants to play for a winner but it his health concerns are a definite problem. Fuentes drives me crazy. It will be an interesting winter. I don't see where they are so stacked in the hitting dept. and hope they field a team, thY is competitive with Texas.

The Jays and Tigers aren't going to be interested in Lowe. They want salary relief and prospects and Lowe doesn't accomplish that, especially since I suspect the Halos will still have to eat a healthy chunk of GMJ's contract in order to trade him for Lowe, assuming the Braves are even interested.
