Prospects
I'd consider trading both Konerko and Lee to Baltimore....but they really don't have many prospects at all. Gibbons is a good player and is cheap....but the don't have much else. Cordova isn't that great and he costs quite a bit....their starting staff is crap....though their bullpen is nice.
If we could somehow get Jorge Julio, Gibbons, Geronimo Gil, and 1 good prospect for Konerko and Lee....I'd be all for it. We get a stud reliever, a helluva hitter, a great backup catcher, and a good prospect for Konerko and Lee....if we did this, we wouldn't have to resign Daubach....because he and Gibbons are very much a like.....though having Gibbons for depth would be nice. It is unnecessary though. A lineup of Jimenez, Tejada, Thomas, Borchard, Ordonez, Gibbons, Crede, Rowand, Olivo.....that's still a helluva lineup, and it costs under $40 mill....that is quite possibly the best lineup $40 mill can buy in today's game.
I would rather have Rodrigo Lopez than Jorge Julio. Just because we already have a lot bullpen of talent in both the minors and Majors. And adding Lopez to a rotation with Mark, (Potentialy)Colon, Jon, and Dan would give us the best rotation in baseball. Just think of having 3 guys who would be the #1 starter(Mark, Colon, and Lopez) for most teams and another 2 who have the talent to be top #2s(Garland and Wright) in the league.
