| Braves considering Kotsay or Patterson for CF?
The Braves don't have huge interest, but I think they still have some. Why Kotsay or Patterson instead of, say, Boston's more productive and expendable CF Coco Crisp? Simple answer: Because of the commitment required. With Crisp, the Braves would have to give up some talent (not sure how much) in a trade, and then would owe him at least $11 mill over two years ($10.5 mill in salary over the 2008-09 seasons, plus a $500,000 buyout of a 2010 option). Kotsay will make $8 mill in 2008 before becoming a free agent. I'm guessing the Braves would require Oakland to pay close to half of that figure before Atlanta would give up anything of value in a trade for Kotsay. He's coming off an injury-shortened, career-worst season (.214-1-20 in 56 games), but did hit .275 or higher in more than 500 at-bats each of the previous three seasons, with 37 total homers and 204 RBIs in that stretch.
Cramer Rages on Banks: 'Where's the SEC?!'
Editor: There's been so much viewer response to Cramer's reaction to Merrill Lynch's earnings yesterday, we decided to repost CNBC.com's coverage of it here on the Madcap blog. Enjoy.
