Now, go get Sherrill or another dominant lefty.&nbsp;&nbsp;KING TONY!</p> http://www.halosheaven.com/2008/7/21/575829/george-sherrill-makes-us-b THE VOICE Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:24:46 -0000 <p style="line-height: 12pt;">Trading for Sherrill makes a lot of sense to&nbsp;me.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would trade&nbsp;Willits, Quinlin and/or a couple of "B" prospects for him.&nbsp; He would round out our bullpen and give us another option when Frankie signs with the Yankees during the&nbsp;off season.&nbsp;&nbsp;Shields, Speier and Sherrill - all have&nbsp;at least some experience closing out ballgames.&nbsp; Mix in the phenom (Arrendondo) and we should have&nbsp;a pretty good battle for the closer position next year.&nbsp; &nbsp;Hell, there is a good possibility&nbsp;Escobar might return&nbsp;in a relief capacity and that would create another solid option at the back end.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mentally I have already prepared myself for life after Frankie and I think the Halos would be wise to do the same.&nbsp; At the same time, I know&nbsp;Reagins will appreciate the extra 15MM to go big bat shopping this winter.</p>
