In a nutshell... go and get Tejada. Send them Hill, Murton, Izzy and maybe an additional starter/reliever/prospect, maybe get something else back, balance it how you wish - just get it done. Then we trade for a platoon for Jones. So we have... RF Soriano 2B DeRosa 1B Lee SS Tejada 3B Ramirez LF Jones/platoon C Barrett CF Pie Zambrano Lilly Marquis Miller/Prior Marmol/Marshall/Guzman/Cotts That line-up would make up for a weak staff, and who knows - If Prior and Miller both work out then the rotation looks OK. In addition to this, why not go all out and trade for Dunn in LF. Send them Jones, Eyre and a combination of any pitchers/prospects they want not including Z. Line-up: RF Soriano 1B Lee LF Dunn SS Tejada 3B Ramirez C Barrett 2B De Rosa CF Pie Lets go for it in '07, who's with me?
