I won't trade Guillen/Jackson for Pierre/Sherrill because it doesn't make the team better or save us any money. Really, I just don't want another singles hitter with no pop, like we had with Josh Anderson. No way do want someone like that playing LF. Also, I'm not trading a starting pitcher that can throw 200+ innings quality innings for a RP who will throw just 50-60 innings. The logistics just doesn't make sense either because the Dodgers don't need Guillen. Their OF is full with Kemp/Eithier/Manny and and they have Loney at 1B. What was the deal with the Jackson for Morrow/Kelley rumor? Bob Nightengale of USA Today said the Tigers rejected this trade, while Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated says it was the Mariners who rejected it. Where do these guys get this information? Does anyone do any real fact checking these days? Twitter trade rumors really have no merit. I still think trading Jackson would create a huge hole in the starting rotation because then we'd have to count on Bonderman, Galarraga, and Robertson filling out the rest of the rotation. Porcello is still going to need his rest too. If we trade Jackson, we better be getting alot in return. He could of won 18+ games last season if he had better run support. He was great up until September. It seems like most of these trade proposals are just so that they can make trades, and not to help the team.
