I'm warming up to this team, but I'm still scared about the injuries and our pen. A nice deadline trade would go a long way towards me feeling confident about this season.

Once this team gets healthy, what kind of deal would you like them to make? If this team ever gets to 100% then we will have no problem with the offense. The only place I could see making a trade for would be bullpen, but I am not sure who we would go after and I am not sure that trading prospects for a bullpen guy is a good idea.

What I'd love to see is a deal for a true, shut-down ace. All of our starters are very good -- and sometimes great. But we're still lacking that Curt Schilling or Josh Beckett or Cole Hamels who is absolutely nails in the postseason -- someone you can almost count on to throw a shutout or a 1-run game. If someone like that became available, I'd love to make the deal. No idea who that would be...any guys like that in the last year of their contract?
