I'm sorry, but I don't see the value in trading any of those veterans. The return is always the same. "The Twins agreed to trade X veteran for Billy Nochance today. Nochance is a right-handed reliever with a 5.45 ERA in 24 innings at AA Bumtown, VA. He works in the high 80s, sometimes touching 90. He has 11 Ks and 15 walks this season with a 1-3 record. He's 28 years-old." None of the veterans mentioned will bring back a player with any hope of being useful in the major leagues. Trading veterans is a way for the owners to save money. As a fan, it doesn't benefit me one bit.

When you know that five fifths of your rotation will be made up of guys with no shot at 200 innings of sub-4.50 ERA, I don't think the number of people brought in matters. Guys who can lose 15 games and generally be awful can be found anytime you need them. If one gets hurt, you just walk to the nearest Cub Foods and grab a guy from the grocery-bagging team. In an emergency, they can let Drew Butera start, though he may be disqualified on account of having a fastball in the 90s. -
Has there ever been a rotation where no starter ever made it to the 8th inning? Maybe this team does have a chance to make history.
