1st Trade Feelers

This afternoon, I received the first couple of trade feelers in preparation for the 2007 draft.

The first asked about the availability of $20 Bartolo Colon in exhange for something like $7 Carlos Pena or $6 Ben Zobrist.

Either would be acceptable. Any player with a modicum of potential for 2007 should land a player like Colon - fully-valued, if healthy, and coming off some arm issues.

The other feeler involved an $18 Jorge Posada or $9 Dionner Navarro. Both can be had.

However, I see them as more valuable than Colon right now, so I'd expect something with a little more certainty for 2007.
