Re: cant

It sounds like Cantu is going to be signed by the Marlins last i checked.

Pedro Feliz: Marginally better this year.

Hmm

Maybe this diary should've been titled "Cantu tell me who you'd like to see invited?"

I like your list, although I'm not that interested in Scott McClain. Nice story, cool pop culture reference, but he's a tad older than the other folks on the list.

Re: Hmm

I was glad to see him get some AB last year, but he didn't exactly set the world on fire.

a couple more

a couple guys who wouldnt look terrible at first base next year. (if we have to sign a vet)
mark sweeney
brad wilkerson

i know shawn green has been mentioned as an option to be the lefty half of a platoon with aurilia, but even though sweeney is a righty id rather see him as a 1 year stopgap. but it may just be left-over disdain from green's dodger days.
-as a side not im not actually excited about any of these options, its all relative.

Re: a couple more

Do you mean Mike Sweeney? Because we already tried the Marksperiment.

No thanks. I would rather just go with Dan and Nate.

Don't know if it falls under S.T. invites but was hoping SF would look into Mark Prior and see if this is a possibility/feasible pick-up.

I somewhat doubt he'll be non-tendered, and I'm not too sure if we'd be able to deal for him.

I know the Padres were asking about him . . .who knows . . .

Eric Hinske might be the most intriguing name on this list, former rookie of the year... a younger, better, Rich Aurilia type... a move to the NL might revive his career.

Defender of Noah Lowry.

gettin' back on the juice might help his career too.

Fairley odd parent to Wendell...

His stats make his rookie year look juiced, but I still like him as a ST invitee. I'd be happy to see most of those other names too.
The only exceptions are Coskie & McClain.
