June 22, 200421 yr I think Rusch has been pitching over his head thus far. I believe he will come back to earth soon. The guy the Cubs recently picked up I wish the Sox would have taken a flyer on is Ryan Dempster, yes he is hurt but he may be back in July. I always like him.
June 22, 200421 yr That most likely would not be the offer though. It would probably involve one or two fewer prospects. Not sure what exactly it would be though. But to get RJ, you HAVE to overpay. Arizona really does not want to give him up, and I'm not sure he wants to leave. Even if Arizona did accept an offer, Unit may turn it down(and as I said, I don't even know if he'd waive his no-trade clause). Atleast 3 of those 5 would probably leave, and I could see where 4 of the 5 could go as well. Overpaying is one thing.... Trading Borchard, Reed, Cotts, Diaz, Munoz and Rauch for a 40yo power pitcher who had a series knee problem the last few years and who is making 15+ Mill in the next 2 years? Pure insanity.
