So after listening to the morning and afternoon rants of the SD radio personalitites here (some of the worst and some of the best BTW) I would think Maddux has a place here. They all seem to think they can afford Zito & Redman and only have to pay pen or prospects in either deal. I would think Maddux would interest them and likewise. I asked this in a different thread but would you trade Maddux for Klesko straight up? Klesko is owed 8.25 mil in his final year next year. SD wouldn't have to spend much in this deal and have been looking to unload Klesko or Nevin for a couple of years now. Actually the money would be a was as Klesko makes 8.25 this year & next and Maddux makes 7.5 this year and 9 next (assuming). I think that I would make this deal. We deal from a position of depth (SP) and so does SD (OF). SD gets to play Nady like they have been trying all year and get the veteran starter that will lead them to the playoffs. A 3 man playoff rotation of Peavy, Eaton & Maddux ain't too bad and REALLY easy to sell to SD people. Now if we can somehow get Barfield too that would be nice.
