He is serving a 50-game suspension for HGH use. He wasn't quite ready for the majors this season so Mark Kotsay was brought in as a stopgap. They also have Josh Anderson in AAA and Gregor Blanco in the majors. Both seem like pretty good players but Gorkys Hernandez (Hi A) might end up being better than all of them. He's only 20 but he hit .293 with 54 stolen bases in A Ball last season. He was part of the Edgar Renteria deal. Considering that there is some depth at CF in the Atlanta system, I can see the Padres aggressively pursuing Schafer or Hernandez but I'm not sure if Maddux and Giles are enough. Maybe they could eat some salary or throw in a prospect. #9@Pat: Shafer is widely regarded as their CF of the future. He is serving a 50-game suspension for HGH use.

Has he been hurt? So far in 2008 he's only played 4 games, according to baseball cube. Is Schafer a CF? Has he been hurt? So far in 2008 he’s only played 4 games, according to baseball cube.

Schafer would make a lot of sense. If the Padres could get Brent Lilibridge in that package, even better. #6@Ben B.: I was playing with something similar the other day when researching trade possibilities.

Sat, 24 May 2008 23:10:42 +0000 http://ducksnorts.com/blog/?p=2548#comment-190014 Dayn Perry at BPro has an article up today (subscription required) proposing a Brian Giles + Greg Maddux for Jordan Schafer trade with the Braves. Giles would move to left for them and provide a massive upgrade over their Diaz/someone platoon. Maddux would be a huge upgrade over Chuck James or whatever relievers they're throwing out there now. It's a great proposal and makes a ton of sense for both sides; it probably gives the Braves 4 more wins over the rest of the season. The one big problem is money: Giles and Maddux get paid a lot, and the Braves run the team on a budget. If the Padres would pick up some of the money, it could actually happen. http://baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=7569 Dayn Perry at BPro has an article up today (subscription required) proposing a Brian Giles + Greg Maddux for Jordan Schafer trade with the Braves.
