No and no.

Really, what your reasoning? I think I'd definitely make that trade, but I'm not sure Castro is enough to make SD do the deal. Basically we are all hoping that Castro turns into someone as valuable as AG. Gonzalez is young, will hit 40+ HRs at Wrigley and is a top defender (albeit at a less important position than SS). The one advantage Castro has is his cost. But I'd definitely trade a potential stud for a proven stud.

If San Diego wanted to do that trade straight up, I think I'd do it. I do understand why someone wouldn't though. We're basically digging one hole to fill another. We don't really have anyone to bring in for 1st base because we don't have any prospects and the free agents this year at 1B aren't great. It's going to be tough filling the void that Lee leaves unless the Cubs want to get creative and put either Aramis or Soriano there.
No and no.
