It's less money for a player we may be able to use. I just dont see the M's doing it. It would add long term payroll. I see nothing wrong with a Castillo for Washburn trade.

But, the M's saw that as a way to increase their payroll by $2.5 mil, so they said no. I think that Washburn would benefit from a move to the NL, too. Preferably to somewhere like San Diego . . .

Here is what Omar should do- 1. Sign Ollie, I do want Sheets, but I'm concerned that he will be under the knife before he plays this year. 2. Trade Castillo for Jose Guillen, Guillen would play LF. I know we want Manny but I think he will end up with the Dodgers again. 3. Sign Orlando Hudson to a two year deal (not four years Omar!) He is declining but he I believe will perform better than Castillo 4. Sign Dennys Reyes to a one or two year deal. Now the Wilpons would have to raise payroll for this to happen but this team would be better for '08.
