TRADE PROPOSAL
The Giants wanted to trade me 27-year old left fielder Fred Lewis for 29-year-old third baseman Joe Crede and 24-year-old minor league catcher Kris Welker. I took a lot of time to think about this, as it was a real decent offer. We will most likely be getting rid of Crede eventually, since Fields is ready to take over at third, but I think Swisher and Quentin can hold down the fort in left field without us having to acquire yet another outfielder this offseason.
