I saw an intriguing proposal today. It was suggested that the Mets trade OF prospect Lastings Milledge for Oakland ace Barry Zito. The Mets want to win now and need another starter, and who better than Barry Zito? Plus, they have the ability to resign him. The A's also need him to win the AL West though. Trading Barry is giving up on the season, but it is also a good move for the future. The A's need a lot of hitting, and Milledge could be an offensive superstar for years to come. And we all know Zito won't be back with Oakland when his contract expires.
So what would you do if you were Minaya or Beane?
