Bobby Dalbec for Rich Hill-- who says no?
I guess the Red Sox might say no because Hill is still owed almost $4 million more this year. And the Pirates might be hoping for a better return than a guy many people think of as a AAAA player.
But on the other hand, Hill is a million years old, and according to the radio broadcast the other day, comes back to Boston whenever possible to spend time with his family. Maybe we add in another low-level minor leaguer in exchange for Pitt. to eat some money, and they do it as a favor to him.
I really think Dalbec would be a very useful player for them for the next couple years. They have Hayes at third, but he's currently on the DL, and when he's back, Dalbec could DH and play 1B. I think he'd give them 25 HRs (and 200 Ks) for cheap, in exchange for 2 months of a 43-year-old who really doesn't want to be there anyway.
