Yes we have a whole team to trade, but of course no-one has any value.

I say just take the awful season this year, take the draft picks from the free agent to be's like Sexson, and get a couple of proven free agents as well as a few trades. You never know we could challenge for the AL West next year, but there's a hell of a lot of work to be done.

If you truly believe we have no one of value to trade you are mistaken badly.  There are many guys on this team that will be traded and have value.  When the trading deadline comes it is amazing who teams will like.  If I ventured a guess I would say the following guys will be moved by the end of July...

Raul Ibanez, Arthur Rhodes, Dickey - I would almost call these locks to be moved

Beltre, Ichiro, Bedard, Putz - Would have to be big deals although I doubt they trade Ichiro for anything

Bloomquist, Batista, Washburn, Sexson, Vidro - Wouldn't take much but not out of the realm of possibility....teams are always looking for pitching and veteran hitting...

Johjima -  Doubtful (too much money)

Clement, Balentien, Morrow, Lopez, Betancourt, Reed, Felix -  Not happening

I could see the following guys go:

Washburn, Batista, Dickey - Might be overpayed, but contracts aren't overly burdensome.  Teams like to pick up vet pitchers to show the fans they're trying.  Dickey and Batista can both throw from the pen, so they might have value as swing men.

Bloomquist - could go to some team for a marginal prospect.  As injuries mount around the league, his versatility can be useful to a contending team.

Ibanez - hard to see an NL team taking him unless they want to stick him at 1B.  I could see an AL team picking him up as a part-time DH/1B/LF.

Rhodes - sure.  Lefty setup guy?  Popular choice to go.

Sexson - Hard to see it unless his production really picks up.  Then someone might take a flyer on him as a 1/2 year rent-a-player.  Would have to be a unique situation.

Lopez - Probably already playing at peak performance, so if he goes, he might command the best return.  Has been steady this year, but doesn't have a high ceiling.

Bedard - I just don't see it.  If healthy and strings together a few quality starts I can see offers come in, but I don't think the team moves him for less than a blockbuster deal. 

Vidro - switch-hitting veteran could be cut and picked up, or traded for a marginal prospect.

Putz - I don't see it happening.  Seems like at mid-year teams like to take other teams' marginal closers and make them their set-up men.  If a team like the Tigers were in contention I could see it because Todd Jones has to make them nervous.

Beltre - Prohibitive contract.  Mariners would likely have to sell cheap.  I'd say hold on to him if that's the case.

I think trading RA Dickey would be a mistake...He hasnt been all too great in the rotation but he talked about getting calls from Charlie Huff and Tim Wakefield this past week and last night he really looked good against the Mets. Boston has had a pretty good rotation with the knuckleballer in it for some time now...and I think we need to keep Dickey and give him the 5th spot in the rotation next season. The Knuckleball is something that many players never learn to hit...and when Dickey can throw a 63MPH knuckle then an 84-85MPH fastball like last night..I think he can have success at the 5th spot in the rotation. Even if he doesnt rack up a bunch of wins...he can still eat innings and try to keep our bullpen fresh...I say keep Dickey.

I could agree with that.  I just think there's no market for Silva and I'm not sure I can see keeping a #5 starter if you've got the opportunity to pick up a prospect for him.  The team isn't good enough to win next year, so roll a Feierabend out there and see how he develops. 

I'm not down on Dickey.  I just think he's not a long term answer for anything and if someone is willing to give a halfway decent prospect for him the team would be better of taking it.

Of course, right now I'm wishing they had hung on to last year's Mexican League signee.  Jorge Campillo is tearing it up for Atlanta this year.  I saw favorable write-ups with the M's signed him.  Why'd they let him go so quickly?
