Re: No Croshere; perhaps Wahad or Mercer; Probably Randy Brown

I have sat back and watched all the trade rumors take flight.  I agree that
it will take far more than what we are after to turn the corner and make it
to the playoffs.  Someone recently mentioned their amazement that Derek
Anderson has not figured more prominently in Ricky's plans.  And with their
mutually respecful history, wouldn't it makes sense to sign him with the
exception with a bigger payday down the road?  Or does he have a problem
with the current Wildcat alumnus on the roster?
