[edit] Trade Bait?

It has been rumored that the Yankees had offered a deal to the Florid Marlins for pitcher Dontrelle Willis, who might not be resigned or might be traded in 2008, in exchange for Melky Cabrera and other players to be determined. Willis is on thin ice in Florida given his recent struggles and Florida's need to spend less on players it is possible the marlins could bite. Also the Marlins are in need of a center fielder and cabrera could be converted to fill their need . the trade could diffenitely happen if rookie center fielder Alejandro de Aza of the Marlins struggles and the trade deadline nears.

[edit] Trivia Section

Boy, Yankees bias much? There's a paragraph written about him getting a couple of RBI singles in a game in one part, with phrases such as "but he didn't let this get him down" in regards to his slump, etc. You know, for a remarkably below average major league player (sorry, stats don't lie), with rather limited major league experience, this guy has a rather extensive (read: overly long) wikipedia page. I'm clearing out a lot of the trivia, because 1) trivia sections aren't really supposed to exist to begin with, and 2) it has severe NPOV issues. Much of it is not cited, and even when it is, the writer is clearly not objective in his diction. There was a trivia point about how Melky has ten toes, for God's sake. This is Wikipedia, not your fan page.President David Palmer (talk) 06:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
