Slightly off-topic, but a package that included Giles and (I can dream) Mark Loretta is about the only way I'd consider dealing Maddux. It could be a win-win situation: we get the offense (including baserunners with BRAINS) and good D, and Greg gets his numbers down and wins up a little in pitcher-friendly Petco, which is also in the same time zone as home. The SoCal house could become Maddux family HQ during the baseball season. Do you mean this as a deal to be done now? Giles and Loretta are both FAs after this year, and SD is curently in the NL West lead, so what incentive do they have to get rid of Giles and Loretta? And especially for Maddux?
