I'm also surprised Javy waived his NTC to go to NY. I recall he was miserable there the first time around. This seems like a bad idea to me for all parties. Melky Cabrerra, while he'd be the best CF in Chicago (on either team) is still very mediocre. Atlanta gets to move Nate McLouth out of CF (he's a hideous defensive CF), so I guess I get it (Diaz to RF, McLouth to LF? and Jordan Schaefer is the 4th OF?)

I'm shocked the Braves couldn't get more than that. Really shocked.

And I would trade Zambrano in a heartbeat. Now, before Butch and Jstraw swallow their tongues, I'm not saying I would GIVE Zambrano away. However, he earns more than he is worth. If someone wanted to give us a package commensurate with Zambrano's perceived value, I'd jump on it. Yes, it would leave a hole in the rotation, but there are ways of filling those (as the Yankees showed). We might be able to spin some of what we get for Zambrano into a #2 starter, who isn't being paid like he is a #1 starter.
