Some notes from Dayn Perry

Dayn Perry has a new article up on Fox Sports about what various contenders are looking for. It's an interesting read if you're bored. There are some notes that I haven't seen mentioned on the major rumor mills that might be interesting closer to the trade deadline.

First, the Rockies are looking for a catcher. Normally I'd write this one off, but there is both Francis and Helton on that team. While I doubt Francis is going to be moved, Helton is available and the Rockies have been known to eat a lot of contract. It's some money to spend, but much less than Tex will get in 2 years.

Next, the Padres are looking for middle infield help. They look very thin out there. They happen to have some good arms in both majors and minors so I could see a prospect for prospect swap there.

Finally, Perry brings up Millwood. His contract seemed huge at the time, but it's now about what you would expect from his past performance. Actually, aside from his walks Millwood's numbers this year would predict a better ERA and win total than he's getting. It might work, but i'm not sold.
