The Cardinals and Pirates are reportedly discussing some sort of deal. It is said to include Jason Bay, Matt Morris and Jack Wilson and then Chris Duncan, Anthony Reyes, Brad Thompson and a semi top prospect.

I wouldn’t do it. Let’s look at it.

Bay/Duncan… really much difference. Bay is 3 years older and quite a bit more expensive. He had a down year in 2007. Better defensive player. Don’t make the trade.

We probably need to eat all of Matt Morris contract and his is mucho dollars over Reyes and Thompson. Don’t make the trade.

Then the Jack Wilson part. He would need to play everyday. That makes the bench for the Cardinals a very expensive thing. (Izturis,Ryan,Miles, Kennedy).

Let’s wait and spend the money saved at a more opportune time.
