Okay - I'm going to play the part of Billy Bean.  Former Cy Young winner, and 28 year old left handed pitcher, Barry Zito can be yours. 

For the right price.

Want him?  Make me a deal and sell me on it.

I'll give you a bag of Fritos that fell off the back of Crass's truck and an issue of Sports Illustrated from 1997.





I don't mean to be sarcastic - what do I have to work with here?

Hmmmm, i can't see anybody putting a deal together right now that will yank him away from Oak-town. I would assume any deal would include a slugger as well as that teams top minor league prospect. Any teams interested are probably reluctant and want to see which Zito shows up this year and then next season they can offer him a contract as a free agent.

I don't have any interest in Giambi, I'm set at DH and first base.  Plus I can't take his salary.  Remember - this is Oakland.  I am interested in Hughes.

Counter offer for Yankees:  Hughes and Robinson Cano.  Oakland will sign Zito to a 3 year deal prior to if Cano is involved prior to shipping him to you.

I just received two offers, one from Texas.  Clock is ticking.

Man, i was just about to propose this. Cano & Hughes. Interesting. 3 year deal is just right. I'll take that.

We have Cano and Hughes on the table - you're getting a guy that has a Cy Young under his belt, a lefty, and just turned 28.  Lefties come into their own as they get older.

So - what is your concern?

I guess i am going to pull the trigger on this one. If it were up to me i'd personally want to see what he looks like this season. He hasn't exactly been mr. consistency since that cy young.

Exactly my point on the thread - do you give up your future for a promising lefty that generally starts and ends each season in a rough fashion?

Now what do you do at second base?

Yankees get a potential ace that is inconsistent - yet always an innings eater.  Left handed pitchers might as well be made of gold.

A's get a young stud infielder that should have been rookie of the year and a fireball RHP prospect that throws in the mid 90's on every pitch and has a change up that dips to 81mph.

Now the question - if this trade went through - who got the better deal?

His numbers against Boston and NY are embarrassing, his numbers have declined since his Cy Young year(when Pedro should've won it), and with mediocre guys liek AJ Burnett getting $11 Million, he will likely get $15 Million from some stupid team.

If I were Cashman I would give up Scott Proctor and Carl Pavano.
