I don't like to trade controllable starting pitching just so we can place some rental furniture in the charred remains of our burnt-out house. Garcia would have been traded last winter if not for his minimum contract.

Also this: beyond Watanabe we have NO depth at AAA, so we can't trade any starting pitcher without permanently adding that extra long reliever. Our next-best shot in that regard is 25-year old Tim Webster, who was just promoted to AAA for the first time. Yes, we're that broken.

Of course I then fully expect the other teams to throw their best prospects at me for the key ingredients of that league-worst offense...

Edit: those ugly typos!!
