Trade possiblities

I heard a rumor that Chavez wants to go to the Marlins since Lowell is slummping... just kidding, i made that one up.  There will be on mention of trading him, since that is absolutely ridiculous.

However, what about this?  Getting involved in a 3-way trade(we know how Billy loves to do these) with the rockies and astros.  We send Byrnes, hatteberg/Durazo and Saarloos to the Rockies, they send Helton to the Astros, and astros give us Jason Lane and the rockies give us Joe Kennedy.

The Rockies are looking to dump Heltons contract and add some younger players (even tho hatte/durazo arent very young), the astros are looking for a big stick 1B since bagwell is gone, and we could use a good OF with power and some speed.

Whatcha think AN?  Too proposterous?

If the A's are going to make a major 3 way deal
None of the players you listed will be part of it. they're all throw-ins, in one form or the other. We'll have to trade top prospects, and I'm not sure beyond catcher and now perhaps 2B, who those prospects really are.

Rockies
Helton has a No Trade Clause, and I think he wants to stay. The Astros are more likely sellers then buyers..

If we got someone from Houston, it'd be Burke.

And I dont see how that helps the Rockies get younger.

Helton
I'm pretty sure he'd be OK about going to a contender.  Houston is not a contender, so maybe not there.

I'm not even sure he has a no-trade.

Saarloos
might interest the Rockies because of his groundball tendancy.  If he performs well for a little while, that'd be an interesting one for them

No way that's happening
I wouldn't want Dan Johnson playing first base without a good backup.
