Keep dreaming that a MLB team out there is going to mortgage their farm system for Loaiza's services . Only one GM would consider doing that and he already has Loaiza on his roster.
And speaking of his value, it's doubtful that Loaiza or any other pitcher for that matter is going to put up numbers like Loaiza has during the first half of '03..... so if his second half is near .500 with a 3 or 4 ERA don't come screaming to these boards, "I told you so," because it doesn't mean s***. He got it done for us in the first half of '03 when no one else we had could. And, if by some hellified pitching, Loaiza is able to win 11 or 12 more in the second half, you'd be advocating trading away an AL Cy Young Award shoo-in.
