Considering his record right now (which most people would tie directly to his trade value), he is by all accounts our least valuable trade chip in the rotation. Ship out Vargas!!!

To be fair, Burrell gets on base better than any OF we can march out there. And if you want to talk about plus defenders, perhaps we should go back to Craig Counsell at 3B...

First of all, saying Burrell has "decent" power is like saying Braun has "decent" power...except worse. Pat the Bat stirs up a Hurricance with every swing of the shelele, while his Hurricane counterpart has a record of HR's at the MLB level for half a season. Furthermore, while he may not have the Hebrew Hammer's speed, I would argue that he could beat Adam Dunn or El Caballo (or my nickname for him, El Burrito) any day of the week in a 40...though I guess that would mean Pat overran the bag.

If a team were willing to offer Jenkins a contract for $10mil per year, on a multiple year contract, wouldn't it behoove the Brewz to pick up his option and then trade him to that team, as he would be more valuable to them at $9mil for one year? What I am getting at is that my guess is that Jenkins would be lucky to get a contract like he was originally given, considering his platoon-needs...

Trade him to the Padres for Peavy and Inman...

I understand the fascination with Braun's value, but honestly, a year ago, people had Alex Gordon ticketed for 10+ All-Star appearances and Ryan Zimmerman was being measured for a bust in Cooperstown. And to be honest, I still value Yo more than Braun.

Braun for Scott Moore (pictured at left). They are literally the same age (to the day), and play the same position. Cubs might even throw in Jeff Samardjza to alleviate any problems the Pack has at the WR position.

I have the perfect trade idea. Braun and Hart for Garrett Atkins, Matt Holliday, and Jeff Francis. Takers? I just really want the Canadian lefty...

He does have more World Series Home Runs than Carlos...

Straight platoon of Murton and Scotty Po. Murton takes the AB's, Scotty Po does the baserunning. And Lou finds another reason not to play their prized prospect, THE FOOT!

I'm a bit curious why Dave Bush always seems to be out... I didn't know there was a waiting list for his bandwagon.

Imagine if the Red Sox were to put Man-Ram on waivers again... We just need to build a giant wall in left and we're set!

Capuano / Vargas / Gross(Billy loves OBP) / Mat Gamel to the A's for The Douche and Rich Harden -We need to shore up the bullpen, and I have long drooled over the chance to add Rich Harden to the staff...at almost any cost. This offseason would be an ideal "Buy Low" opportunity, with his injury history. Gamel allows them a prospect at the hot corner to take over when Chavez's back forces him to Frank Thomas-status. Perhaps it is overpaying with giving away such young talent, but for Rich Harden, it will have to be an appealling package. Jr. Gwynny / Manny Parra (or CV the Younger...I just like imagining how those their three presumed lefties would slot next year...if Parra could make the rotation) to Minnesota for Nathan....Too much? Too little? I imagined what it would have taken to get Gagne...and Linebrinck...and added the two together. Nathan? A man can dream.... Rotation... Sheets Harden Yo Bush Suppan Bullpen... Shouse Wise Parra/CV (whichever isn't traded to the Twins) Linebrinck (Freshly resigned....Turnbow-type contract) The Douche Turnbow Nathan
