Non-waiver trade deadline: 8 days, 2 hours, 3 minutes

Where could Hillenbrand end up?

echo: Where could Hillenbrand end up?

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal explores trade possibilities for the newly DFA'd Shea Hillenbrand. Note that the Dodgers are mentioned first. I really think Ricciardi has some good options in working out a trade with LA. Does Hillenbrand have enough value to score Izturis and Perez? If not, who might be packaged along with him? Pitching is the biggest hole in T.O. these days, but I'd still like to see the team improve up the middle.

By the way, Keith Law also has a post about where Hillenbrand might hang his hat. He mentions 5 teams, but unless you are an ESPN Insider, you can't read the full article. The Giants are the first team he cites. Care to guess what the other four are (or, any ESPN Insiders care to share)? 

An aside: MLB Trade Rumors reports that Julio Lugo to Toronto trades are still being talked about, but doesn't cite any recent sources.
