you don't trade Ordonez. keep him and let him walk at the end of the year. it sucks, but no way in hell is Ordonez worth 5-6 years $10-$12 a year.
#1, because he hasn't necessarily gotten better over the years (I'm not just talking about numbers either)
#2, Whether we like it or not, our payroll is $60 million, which I think is pretty damn fair considering the half-assed support we fans give to them. Throw $12 mill year at one guy over the course of 5 years and let's see how people will react to it a year or two from now.
