In DOB's article today he suggests:

- Trading for Willingham (has two year left on his contract at $7M per)
- Signing Pagan to a 4 or 5 year deal at $9M per.

Thoughts?

Actual decent suggestion by DOB. I like idea of signing Pagan. Don't know about 5 years at 9 mill a year. I think he's 31 already. Just off the top of my head, it doesn't seem like the Twins like to trade. I would say Willingslam has another 2 years of slugging in him though.

Pagan would be a solid pickup. I'd rather not be paying him $9 million when he's 36 though.

I think this sounds like a likely Braves scenario, and I would be fine with it as long it was 3-4 years for Pagan, not 5.

I could also see us just trading for Willingham and Span, though the price might get a little steep there.

But Delgado/Hanson plus a couple other lesser prospects for Willingham would make me happy for LF, and having a 7 mil LF would allow us to extend Prado.
