Trade rumors

There has been speculation in both the Twin-Cities and national media that the Twins may be buyers at the trade deadline, with Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Lee (left) the most prominent names mentioned.
You may remember that last year the Twins were close to a deal for Soriano, but it didn't happen because they refused to give up Franciso Liriano.
That was just one of many instances when standing pat was the wise move over making a desperate deal, and its my opinion that that's usually the case.
I'd love to see Carlos Lee in the middle of the order for the rest of the year, but if it cost more than, say, Boof Bonser or Jesse Crain, it's just not worth it, especially since Lee will be a free-agent after the season (and by the way, how do you think that chick in the pink talked Lee into an interview?)
As for Soriano, he's got great offensive numbers, but he's also a selfish player with a history of being a pain in the ass. For a guy to keep putting up huge numbers like he does and keep getting traded anyway might say something about the guys personality.
Right now, the Twins are the best team in baseball. It might seem impossible for them to keep playing like this, but I wouldn't put it past them.
What they're doing is working, and making a blockbuster deal isn't necessary.
