From ESPN's Adam Schefter, suggesting trades he thinks should happen:
"4. Cleveland quarterback Brady Quinn to Carolina for a conditional fourth-round pick: Clearly, the Quinn-Cleveland marriage hasn't worked any better than Greg Norman and Chris Evert's, so call it a day. Right now, Carolina doesn't have a first-round pick in April, and would be unable to draft one of the top quarterbacks, so it would make sense to take a chance on a quarterback who needs a change of scenery."

Bullpen sucks, says Terry Pluto
Covers the Browns, too, for those inclined, but I think Pluto is right on the money with the bullpen issues. [insert standard comments warning here]

"The only thing I wish we could do was compete," [Pirates SS Jack] Wilson said in a phone interview with the newspaper. "I wish we could go out and get some more players to make our team competitive. And, you know, now that this whole trade thing has probably blown over, that's going to be my new focus on the Internet: Instead of looking for my name and where I might go, hopefully, we might get some players. Because we need them."
The best cure for being kicked when you're down (Sabathia to the Yanks)? Kicking someone even lower when THEY'RE down. I love schadenfreude! I especially love how he says "compete" so many times. Who needs to win when you can you just continually lower your expectations?

DeAngelo Hall?
Saw this on ESPN. Apparently, Al Davis has decided to cut DeAngelo Hall. I'm not sure what our cap room is like, but I'd love to upgrade the secondary and with Al Davis kicking in his bonus, I think he'd be a great fit. I know there are issues with his character, but he's young and extremely talented. The only question I'd have is whether he would fit in to the Browns' plans long term; I'm not sure Savage would okay any short term moves.

Hector Rondon; international superstar?
According to ESPN, a pitcher named Hector Rondon will be starting for the World's future team, and he's from Cleveland's system. He's in Class A+ Kinston right now. His line from Baseball Reference suggests nothing special, but he does show positive signs of development (although his K/BB seems to be slipping a touch, never a good sign). Have any of you folks heard of him? BR doesn't do ERA+ for minor leaguers, and I'm not sure what kind of Park Factor we have in Kinston (although I'd heard, in general, the Carolina league is a pitcher's league).
