1. I absolutely prefer not to trade DJ. I don't think we have to to get Zobrist. But, as I've written, were we to get a Grichuk or Souza in a simultanious trade, then I could rationalize that we've got a RH prospect at least as promising (or close) as DJ. And they bring CF capability to the mix.
2. I'm more and more intrigued by Kivlehan. He may well turn out to be better than DJ. It's close.
3. And I would bet that Franklin hits again. Our problem is that he has no place to play for Seattle. Unless we want to LF him, and I'm not seeing any indication such a move in is the works.
Mucho appreciated Gordon
