Re: Doug -- In a bigger deal, would you trade German for him?

Two things:
1) Do you think that your direct competition is going after these players?
2) Do you want to win this year? How much would the trade (with and without Koch/German) help you?
If you want ot win this year, it seems to me that you get help for every category and only give up Blalock (in original deal). Rivera is a throwaway with the Yankees, Kingsale is hurt and didn't perform well when he was healthy and Harper is a nice setup guy who remain in that role until/unless Carter falls flat on his face.
As for Koch/German, it can only help you this year as Koch should get more save opportunities and the ERA and ratio impact should not be drastically (given the small number of innings).
