Is Jim Hendry putting funny mushrooms on his pizza again?

If this happens, i will laugh and laugh and laugh...

The Cubs and Orioles are discussing a Jay Payton trade, with the Cubs potentially receiving two mid-level prospects in return.
Payton for Matt Murton straight up would be a nice move for Baltimore. Payton makes sense for the Cubs as a more legitimate option in center field than Jacque Jones, though he's best utilized in a limited role. Ideally, he'd start over Jones against lefties and allow Jones to slide over to right whenever Cliff Floyd is dinged up.

Of course, Payton hasn't had an .809 OPS or better (which Murton did last year) outside of Colorado, but...you got it...HE'S A VETERAN! And really, he's not a very good CF. And most importantly, he SUCKS.
