The Lugo Rumors: Other Cities Chime In

Even Pittsburgh Pirates fans have thoughts on the rumored Julio Lugo-for-Dontrelle Willis or Nate Robertson trade.  Of course, they kind of have their own agenda in not wanting the deal to take place.

From Bucs Dugout:

This is relevant to the Pirates, of course, in that it would prevent Detroit from trading for Jack Wilson.  Wilson is a better player than Lugo at this point, but the cost to the Tigers would be steeper--the Pirates would want prospects.

Unloading an unwanted shortstop to Detroit has suddenly become a popular pastime, it appears.  Catchers, too.  Maybe the Pirates could throw Ronny Paulino into the mix?

Is this why Samara hates trade rumors?

Paulino?

Give me Ryan Doumit, and I would be extremely happy. That kid tore it up for me in fantasy baseball last year. He is a switch hitter (he does have a tendency to get hurt though), but he could be a great acquisition to split time with Ryan.

Two cents anyone?

Just in case there's any question...

I was joking about Paulino. Sarcasm doesn’t always come across well in text, I realize.
