"We should trade Span for a number 3-or-better starter,"

"Let's see what we can get for: Mauer, Morneau, Willingham. . ."

"Twins should sign Oswalt!"

"Maybe we can send away Liriano and Blackburn. We can get something good for those guys!"

I get sick of reading these sorts of ideas. The Twins are neither going to rob another team with our stinking crap, nor are they going to get hosed by a bad trade.

And, how ofted do major leaguers actually get traded for other major leaguers? A couple times per year?

My point: Get real, people!
