more baseball
I don't know where I read this, but there was some scuttlebut about the Braves trying to get one of the A's "big three" starters with a package built around Marcus Giles and prospects. I forget the Atlanta players involved, and the rumor-monger did not say which pitcher the Braves would get. But as much as it would suck for my favorite team to trade what is probably my favorite player, I think this deal could definitely work out well for the Braves. I don't know if I'd do it for Mulder or Zito, but if they could somehow get Tim Hudson and then lock him up to a long-time deal, then trading Giles would probably be worth it.
