Over at Minor League Ball...Neftali will be the feature "Prospect" on Monday.

Should be good...considering some were saying he was overrated before the season...and he's looking utterly dominant.

Julio Borbon comparison

Thanks to Hindman for this...it's an interesting look.

Borbon = Carl Crawford (possibly) ? I'll talke it! Doesn't strike out much, tons of speed to steal 50 bases, incredible CF defense, a little pop. If he can just work on his BB ratio a little...he'd be a nice piece in 2010.

I'll pass on Corey Patterson though...

LF - Murphy/Boggs, CF - Borbon, RF - Hamilton (Byrd/JMJ in there somewhere)...

Matt Holliday available?

Per MLBTR and Ken Rosenthal...Matt Holliday could become available in a "Tex" type of trade (1 year+ left on the contract), if the Rockies continue to struggle...

With the way the Rangers are playing...would you trade prospects for him and sign him long-term???

Me...I would definitely! An outfield of Holliday in LF, Hamilton in CF, and Bradley in RF/DH, with Murphy rotating...pretty nice sounding and definitely would help in 09, 10, and 11...

Hafner available?

So, saw some talk today up on mlbtraderumors.com about the possibility that Travis Hafner could be available for trade, that his contract is not favorable to them anymore, that his mechanics are all jacked up...

Would you trade for him? I would...but only at the right price. I think Cleveland might do it for a nice prospect and eating his contract...I don't mind eating the contract to see if he can work with Rudy to get his timing back.

So...would you trade? What would you trade (prospect or on ML club)?
