Betcha a conversation (as I said) would start with Walker and O'Neill. You might get back to Walker-Lewis-Jackson.
I don't think Karns does it...even with Lewis. Karns is 28 and just ran FIP's of 4.0 two years running. He hasn't yet indicated he's something special...on the field, anyway.
Walker is 23 and everyone sees the potential of something pretty special.
I'm not sure that 2 years of McCutcheon is worth 6 of O'Neill. Not when you factor in the other stuff you give up.
It's more like 2 years of McCutcheon for 6 years of O'Neill and 4 of Walker or Karns.
And, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure O'Neill couldn't come in next year and bang out enough homers to hit 110, or there-abouts.
