Johnny Estrada May want out?
Estrada wouldn't mind trade to Bay
By Andrew Baggarly, STAFF WRITER
PHOENIX -- Johnny Estrada received his Oakland Raiders season tickets in the
mail this week.
"I can't wait, man," said the Diamondbacks catcher, a Hayward native. "I'm a
few rows above the Black Hole, but I might have to get different seats next
year. It'd be nice to see the game without standing up."
Estrada's friends and family are contemplating another kind of move -- one
that could bring him closer to home. He's heard more than once that the
Giants probably need a catcher for next season given Mike Matheny's uncertain
status with post-concussion syndrome.
"I grew up a die-hard Oakland A's fan, but I could deal with playing in San
Francisco," Estrada said, smiling.
Of course, it's rare for teams to trade within their own division. The
Colorado Rockies long coveted former Giants backup Yorvit Torrealba but
acquired him only after he was traded to Seattle.
It's just as rare for players to admit the grass could be greener with a
division opponent, but Estrada is frustrated that the Diamondbacks signed him
to a one-year contract. He is eligible for salary arbitration after this
season, and the switch hitter should receive a nice salary bump, as his 57
RBIs lead NL catchers.
Estrada returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing a game with stomach
pains. He saw a specialist who believes he might have an ulcer. He is taking
medicine, trying to quit his pot of coffee-a-day habit and looking for ways
to lower his stress level.

球探報告：雖然長相曾被指出與某歌星相似，但在未找到合適髮型的情況下，在20至80分
中只能拿45分至50分間。個性算是開朗，然而因缺乏自信而少能展現個人特質，不易受異
性注意。在言語的表達上亦有問題，有時會因為腦殘而說出不得體的話，導致產生失敗的
第一印象。善良的本性應該會讓他成為Career "Good-man" Leaguer。
