Meh, unless Morneau takes a somewhat team friendly deal I think he is gone by the trade deadline regardless (unless we are somehow still in it) If Parmelee doesn't "cut it" then we could always run Willingham out at 1st base or a guy like Doumit/Mauer until we find a replacement, not to mention you can always find 1st baseman on the free agent market as well for somewhat cheap. I'd prefer Morneau stick around, but if it comes down to spending a bunch of money on him or upgrading the pitching staff/MI, I would rather spend that money on the SP/MI.
