All of those guys have enough value to net some decent players like Raul Ibanez or so. If you want to go after an ace like CC, then you need one of baseball's top prospects as a centerpiece for a package. Very few GMs will trade a star for a quantify of good, but not great, players. It's too bad that we can't trade future draft picks like in the NBA, that would certainly help us this year. I, for one, don't think we need CC even if Z is out for an extended period of time. We just need someone who can post decent numbers to keep us in games. Our offense should take over from there -- especially when Sori comes back and even more when he gets hot. We've been winning many ballgames like this in '08, even when Z has been on the mound. There's also Hill/Marshall -- 2 guys who should still be able to give us some quality starts this year.
