Chad Tracy being dangled

punxsy · 12-04-2006, 04:24 PM

D-Backs are dangling Chad Tracy to the Angels..they want a frontline starter for him in exchange. Perhaps some kind of deal can be worked out in a 2 for 2 or 3 for 3 type trade.
Tracy would solve the void at 3B. I would offer Escobar not Santana as rumored. \\What do YOU think?

Tracy's a tough one to figure out. If he were to put up numbers closer to his 2005 season, he'd be a great pickup. But, Escobar or Santana are too much to give up for him, IMO. I'd offer Saunders and maybe Mathis or Aybar, depending on the D'Back's needs.

I wouldn't give up Santana for Tracy; Mathis would be a good trade because Arizona just traded Johnny Estrada (can't remember if they got a catcher back in the deal). And I'd prefer to keep Saunders (gotta start hording the lefties), but with the middle infield already clogged I could see Aybar going, too.

punxsy, where did you read/hear this?

Forgive me but I did read it today on an official site..this is not a contrived trade idea...it is actual.

No worries, punxsy, I saw the report earlier too, but we should all try to remember to post a link if we read a report. Here's one on the Tracy blurb.

With their eyes on trying to upgrade their pitching, the Diamondbacks have reportedly tried to interest the Angels in Chad Tracy.

Ervin Santana for Tracy would be a great trade for the Diamondbacks, but it's likely the Angels want someone with more power at the hot corner.

Thanks, Sawman.

Punxsy, I wasn't questioning you ... just wanted to see it for myself.

More on Chad Tracy:

Quote:

The Diamondbacks are reportedly interested in acquiring Joe Saunders from the Angels, potentially in a Chad Tracy trade.

We're not big Tracy fans, so it sounds like a relatively even trade to us. The D'Backs would probably want the Angels to throw in at least a decent prospect along with Saunders, who would slide right into Arizona's rotation. The Diamondbacks could replace Tracy at third base with Alberto Callaspo or try to trade for Morgan Ensberg.

Absolutely a dumb trade.

The only guy i'd give up for Tracy is Mathis.

Even Saunders is WAY too much for Chad Tracy and plus, i'd rather get Morgan Ensberg for cheaper.
