If we can pick up a bat or two with power this puts the M's solid in the playoff hunt. Cool thing is we give up nothing but ? for a proven, Cy Young stud. 3 options and all are good IMO

1) He pitches all of 2010, which means M's are in playoff hunt all year, then leaves as a free agent and we get compensated with 1st and 2nd round draft picks as he would be a Type A free agent

2) M's suck early on so we use him as the top Trade bait in baseball and get 2-3 stud young players in return by July

3) He likes it here and signs a juicy 3-5 year deal
