Comments on: Good Idea To Trade For Kevin Kouzmanoff For Third-Base? http://camdencrazies.com/2009/12/16/good-idea-to-trade-for-kevin-kouzmanoff-for-third-base/ The happenings of the Baltimore Orioles.

Glad to have the answer, despite its irrelevance. My next questions for you are: 1) Do you see Atkins sticking at third? And, if that's the case, does this set the O's up to sign a firstbaseman, or is it more likely that we'll see a lot of Aubrey and Wiggington until Snyder gets called up? 2) Is it feasible that the O's will manage to deal Luke Scott during the offseason? Everybody seems to agree that Scott should be moved to make room for Reimold at DH and Pie at LF, but is there any market for him? Or will there be a market for him later on in the season? If Scott can be dealt, what type of prospect can we expect to get in return for him? 3) Kevin Cowherd*, a writer for the Baltimore Sun, seems to believe that the O's need to go hard after Adrian Gonzalez in order to prove to the fanbase that they really are improving the team. A lot of people over at MLBtraderumor** are guessing that the O's would have to form a package around Adam Jones and/or Chris Tillman to snag Gonzalez. This seems very, very unlikely to happen. Is there any way that the O's can outbid the BoSox, who are expected to offer Jacoby Ellsbury and/or Clay Bucholz, without dealing away our future stars? Sorry, I didn't originally intend to make those questions so long, but I think they're important. Thanks again! *http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bal-sp.cowherd16dec16,0,6504394.column **http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/12/odds-ends-lowe-bay-gonzalez.html Thanks, Daniel!
