Brewers Rolen Talks Cool
UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 4:18pm: Haudricourt says the Brewers-Rolen deal croaked over something, but not the intra-division part. Didn't make sense in the first place. Also, Doug Melvin expressed his disinterest in Pedro Feliz.
FROM 12-4-07 at 2:45pm:
You don't need Insider to read this one. ESPN's Jayson Stark says the Brewers talks with the Cards about Scott Rolen have cooled. The Cards are hesitant about trading Rolen within the division. It's weird because it's not like that's a new development, the intra-division factor.
The Brewers had already worked who was paying what and agreed to send Chris Capuano and a "top prospect" over. Stark's source says that most likely, the deal won't happen.
The Giants and Dodgers are in on Rolen, however.

The Giants really need another old guy too.

A top prospect, too? I have been wanting Rolen to stay, but I have to admit, if Manny Parra was in the deal I'd give it serious though.

Seriously? Cappy AND a top prospect? Cardinals would win on that trade.

That deal would make no sense for the Brewers. If it were Capuano for Rolen straight up, and the Cards would eat half of Rolen's remaining $12 mil/year, then it would be reasonable.

The Cardinals are officially retards if they turned that deal down...

That's the only way the Cards are stupid. I think it would stupid to trade him within the division regardless. Scotty will bounce back this year. It wouldn't take much to bounce back from last year as long as he stays healthy.

its that "as long as he stays healthy" thing you have to worry about...

chris capuano for rolen?...capuano sucks, he didnt win a game in like 25 consecutive starts...im thinkin trade scott rolen, anthony reyes, and chris duncan for andre ethier and third base prospect andy laroche...and the Cards would have to pay about 10 million of the 36 million remaining on his contract
