Pena still has great power, and when he finds his way to another team and makes some adjustments, he can still be a big offensive player."</p><p>Interesting to know. Although I think the Giants are committed to giving Niekro a shot.</p> http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2006/1/27/192430/173 hammystyle Sat, 28 Jan 2006 00:24:30 -0000 <p><a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/john_donovan/01/27/team.needs/index.html">http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/john_donovan/01/27/team.needs/index.html</a> .</p><p>It says here that the Champs need a centerfielder. How about Finley and Schmidt for Contreras and Brandon McCarthy? I'm not sure that Sox would give up a starter and there best prospect for an arguably better starter and an old OF, but they might just be running all crazy on a Championship defense binge and be willing to do anything.</p>
