Lankford for Bordick Rumors

I can’t believe I never stumbled across this site till now: SanDiegoBaseball.com

Red Sox signed lefty Jeff Wallace. Nice pickup. With Kevin Walker still recovering from surgery, he might’ve been a useful addition to the Padres’ staff.

Rumors of a Ray Lankford for Mike Bordick deal are heating up. There’s always a cost for saving $3 million, and in this case it would be acquring a 36-year-old shortstop whose only real purpose will be to keep the younger, more talented D’Angelo Jimenez out of the lineup. I have no problem with moving Lankford, as his presence is likely to cut into the playing time of Bubba Trammell, who earned a chance to start based on what he did last season. But not if the price is picking up a guy like Bordick.
