And we aren't getting Furcal.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Better than what? Leaving Fontenot at second and Theriot at SS?

Are Punto and Lopez not good defenders?

I actually worded that poorly...Roberts makes this team infinitely better than any of those SS do, even taking into account the question of defense at short. So I guess as a last resort I wouldn't mind grabbing someone like Punto (I think he's a fairly decent SS, and I thought I read Lopez is probably going back to St. Louis, I might be wrong though), but I definitely would rather have Roberts than any of those guys.

I just don't think it's possible to get Roberts for a few reasons. If we got Peavy and an outfielder, I don't think Hendry would be able to add anything significant to the payroll. It would be hard to put together a package to get Roberts after all of that, and if we did the cupboard would definitely be empty then.

I understand that, and I'm not sure it's a realistic thought to get Roberts after those moves. But I got the feeling from your first post that you would rather have one of these shortstops than Roberts if it was everything was equal, and I disagree with that. If that's not what you were saying, then I think we're on the same page here.

If all things were equal and you told me I could get either Roberts or Punto, I would take Roberts a million times over.
