People are so happy that we actually have some bright prospects, that they don't want to give them up, even if it helps the team in the long run. I remember when the Expos traded Delino DeShields for Pedro Martinez. What? A terrific, young 2B for a 150 lb relief pitcher? I was very skeptical at first... until I saw Pedro pitch the following spring training. The "big forward" problem isn't going to get solved in the draft (unless we really suck 3 years from now in which case we have other problems) and it isn't going to get solved by packaging the overpaid, veteran talent we have now. So unless you want to deal Koivu or Zednik, it's going to get solved by trading young, attractive talent like Markov and Hainsey. But, the Expos had Mike Lansing ready to take over at 2B so they could afford to deal Delino. If the Habs deal, as an example, Ron Hainsey and Souray doesn't come back strong...then the plan sort of backfires unless you can find 2 other rock solid left D...
