Phillies Should Take Chance On Cabrera

I wouldnt mind Cabrera though
I think Garret Atkins is more likely canidate...
Cabrera is not a Philly type of guy. Seems very Bobby Abreu - tons of talent, little heart. Unlike Bobby though, Miggy doesnt seem to care much about physique..
true...garret atkins seems more like that player, but the Phillies could whip him into shape. first, they would have to ban him of philly cheese steaks-
Freddy Garcia is a FA
Firstly of all, Garcia and Lieber are not coming back to this team because they were hurt all last season... Lohse won't be back because there is no way the Phillies will fit the bill for that ridiculous price tag... Burrell, Myers and prospects for Cabrera ?!?! Are you on crack ??? They're is no way Florida is taking Burrell's 14MM for this season... Myer's is making 20.5MM over the next 2 seasons.... That won't happen... I could see a Cabrera to the Phils deal happening but it would involve Carrasco, Victorino and a third prospect....
first of all, there would be cash involved...but the second trade makes more sense.
The Dodgers seem like the best trade partner for Florida. If LA cant land ARod, I fully expect them to make a run at Cabrerra, Miguel Tejada, or even Troy Glaus.
The Marlins could take their choice of young talent from the Dodgers. Andy LaRoche, Andre Ethier, Delwyn Young, Chin Lung Hu,
Jonathan Meloan, Justin Orenduff, are all pieces the Dodgers could move.Matt Kemp, James Loney, Chad Billingsly, and Clayton Kershaw are the guys FLA will want. LA should take a chance here, and even try to negotiate a long term deal with Cabrerra.
Do the Phillies have prospects to get Miguel Cabrera? I can see Cabrera going to the Dodgers or Angels.
