I supoort this thread, I love AJ but if he says he wants to test the market trade him now! I would be in favor of even bringing in a rookie with lots of upside, even if he doesn't have a great season just so we can have something for later than nothing, we took big hits already, and we shouldn't allow this, look at Pavano, we kept him and he signed with the Yankees, I know it's too soon in the season, but guys better now than never.
Let's go ahead and start throwing out some names that may benefits us now and in the future, or even in the future, who is up for grabs???

thats what Im saying, we could trade him at the deadline for some young stud prospects or a proven pitcher. Im sure plenty of teams will be interested in trades if his name comes up, he's ace qualtiy. Im just sayin, why not invest in our future rather than lose him and get nothing in return. Its a golden opportunity to bring some talent in, but on the other hand we lose AJ for half the yr, and if we do make the postseason he would be missed badly. Either way he is gone by the end of the season. And that just stinks :banghead
