Well if they dump Zito, they still have Harden, Haren, Blanton, Loaiza, and Kennedy can move to the #5 spot (he's been very good out of the pen), plus whatever they get in the Zito trade and a few arms on the farm that could come up and are ready IMO. It's not like trading Zito would be giving up on this season or anything.
Loaiza isn't very good as it is, it's ok for him to be the 5 starter when you have 4 studs in front of him but all the sudden you throw Kennedy in the rotation who has been horrible as a starter in his career, so now your 4-5 isn't all that impressive and you've just weakened your rotation a ton. I stand by my statement that you don't trade your 1/2 starter when you have a very legit shot at making hte playoffs, makes 0 sense in my mind.
