It's in one of the blurbs this morning on MLB Trade Rumors. I would support this as well.
Do you think April is too early for a Roger Dorn night?

you've got my backing.
although i'm irrationally finished with outfield platoons, and JMJ for that matter.

It's from Rosenthal. He also said Marlins are actively trying to move Hanley. Not sure what to think of him anymore, but would probably not be against acquiring him, even at huge prospect cost

his .198 BABIP on the road probably has something to do with his numbers being down but I would absolutely love having him at 3B for the foreseeable future. He's like 1/2 the space cadet Pence is.

getting rid of a well-meaning space cadet and then acquiring a complete and total shithead space cadet seems counter-productive. but i'm up for whatever

Yeah I'm not really big into character if a guy has huge talent, but Hanley does seem like a total dick. Then again he's probably a top 5 NL player if he gets his head on straight

Hoping this means Hamlets deal is close.

Pence for Han Ram would be a dream come true for me. Until Han Ram comes here and acts like a dick. But at least I liked watching the guy play at some point in my life. I always hated playing against Pence, then I tried to trick myself into believing him being here would make me like him because of that blah blah former enemies now best friends story, but no, that did not happen, and I would trade him in a second. Take it to the Pence trade thread!

100 OPS+, he's sucked defensively at 3B this year (after sucking at SS), due $15.5MM next year and $16MM in 2014. Pass. What a waste of talent!

Inquirer article on Kendrick where Dubee comes across perturbed but not outright hateful. Says Kendrick finally has an out pitch, teh changeup.

I don't know whats funnier in that clip, Chooch slapping Savery's ass or Utley telling Kratz to get the f;;; away from him.

The Orioles have been making calls to other teams in search help at their corner infield positions, and Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that they've made calls specifically regarding Placido Polanco, Bryan LaHair and Chase Headley.
General manager Dan Duquette is in search of a high on-base percentage who can hit near the top of the Orioles' batting order. An industry source cautioned Connolly in telling him that the O's talks regarding the trio have been preliminary.
Orioles third basemen have combined to hit .233/.291/.383, and their first basemen haven't fared much better at .237/.316/.415. They've primarily used a combination of Wilson Betemit, Mark Reynolds, and Chris Davis at the positions this season, but all are defensive liabilities and Davis has been shifted to an outfield role.
Connolly speculates that Polanco may be the best fit, as he would cost the cheapest of the three to acquire. Headley figures to be one of the most coveted players that is potentially available this summer, and LaHair is controllable through the 2017 season. Polanco earns $6.25MM this season and has a $5.5MM mutual option with a $1MM buyout for the 2013 season.

I'm sure Polly & Cholly (sounds like a TV cop show) aren't helping matters by talking about Polanco's balky back.

There are two Placido Polancos in the league?

Maybe we shouldn't parse such a terribly written/edited article

There are indeed two Placido Polancos. One is the offensive zero glove man we see play nearly every day when he's not hurt. The other one is the guy announcer guys describe as the perfect number two professional hitter with the high on base percentage who can really handle the bat and is speedy. Oh yeah, he's a "heady" player too. Lol. Omg.
