Also the most recent rumor is moving Michael Barrett for a #2 - #3 type starter..... If nothing else it has made the off season interesting after a very very frustrating year.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 ^^^^^^^ the sad thing is he is better than all but 2 starters we have.....I am not enamored either , but after Ramiriz and Soriano I think Zito and other top flight pitchers are likely out of the question.

Probably go to LA.
