Fantasy Baseball Talk

We'll trade you Nick Markakis and $5 in auction cash for Barajas. We're short on catchers and we need a quick fix. Deal?

According to Wikipedia, Markakis was born in New York, but later moved to Woodstock, Georgia with his family. His family was one of the first to move into Deer Run, a subdivision in Towne Lake. He has an older brother named Dennis and two younger brothers named Michael and Greg. Markakis is half Greek and half German.

Other fun facts: he has played with the Delmarva Shorebirds, has hit three home runs in one major league game, our dry cleaner's last name is Markakis and we're fairly sure Nick's Barajas number is 3.*

Pull that trigger, son! It's a beautiful day for a deal!

* Markakis - Corey Patterson - Jon Lieber - Barajas
