All of that is fine, but what hole needs to be filled? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to trade a pitcher that might not have a place on the roster for a position player with nowhere to play either. If nothing else there is always room in the bullpen for someone forcing their way onto the team.

 

Oh, I agree. This isn't a concern in the absence of significant injuries or the approach of the trading deadline.
