Knowing Beane, he will break down by June anyway! Exactly why do we want to trade a break out OF that is cheap for years to come, a front end starter and a top flight set up man for 1 SP?

Trading Gomez for a pitcher works for me though. That is trading from a strength/excess to fill a need. Some of the trade ideas tossed out here from posters are a bit short sided (Pelf/Humber/Heilmann and Mulvey for 1 guy?) Maybe Omar really doesn't know what he is doing, and he had us fooled all this time? That is a scary thought. And expensive for Cerrone. Think of all the "in Omar we trust" T-shirts he must have getting dusty in the basement!

Start high and work down from that. I think that Milledge, Heilman, Pelfrey/Humber could get it done. Maybe throw in another lower tier prospect to ice it. Milledge alone would be a coup for Beane. It's a shame they didn't hold onto Bannister, because he would have been a perfect guy to include. Tell me Milledge, Bannister, and Heilman doesn't get this deal done easy? Anyway, Milledge gives Beane tremendous value because he would be under control for a while and I think he breaks out this year. With Pelfrey/Humber and Heilman he would have some major league caliber swing men at worst. At best, he would be getting a potential front end starter and a top flight set-up man. Of course that’s what Beane wants. Start high and work down from that.

Anything short of Oswalt is not worth trading Maine for, IMO...
