and can they hold the N.L. West lead even thou Ned Colleti got the great Casey Blake to play third for the Dodgers.

Answer 1

I think they will.

I know they are saying oh we can't give up Connor Jackson because he's young and we have him under contract. But let's e serious here. It's Mark Teixeira! He is one of the best switch hitters in baseball and gives the Dbacks the centerpiece offensive player they desperately need. I think the Dbacks acutally would like to sign him and are just using the Jackson excuse as a cover. Once they can get some sort of deal in place, they make that deal in an instant because it automatically makes the Dbacks the team to best not only in the West but possibly in the NL because they have tremendous pitching.

Answer 2

For the Dodgers sake, I hope not.

Answer 3

I dont think they will go thourgh, they can get more value out of Tracy and Jackson than Teixeira being he will be a free agent at the end of the season and probably want a huge contract.

Answer 4

no they need players that wont strike out 100 times a season not only that they already have a log jam at 1st even if they tried to play him at 3rd your holding back mark reynolds thats putting up basically the same numbers so no it wouldnt be a smart idea to trade top notch players for a rental player that wont bring anything new to the team

Answer 5

No way at least I hope they don't

Answer 6

i dont think they will but i do think they win the NL west considering they're the only half decent team in that division
