As a newbie, I know I will get trashed for this, but if at all possible, we need to trade Maggs for two quality starting pitchers. This will shore up the 4 and 5 spots in the rotation, and then we can kick Shoey back to the bullpen, where he belongs. And the bottom line is, we don't need Maggs. The offense is one of the best in baseball without him, and I don't know where all of this "Maggs is our best hitter, he's a superstar" talk came from. He is a very good player. He is not a superstar. When he can put up Vlad numbers, or Manny Ramirez numbers, or even Frank numbers, then we can talk. But if he hasn't been able to make that leap to the next level yet, I don't think he's ever going to, and his trade value can bring this team what it needs, and that is starting pitching!
I agree completely with this. Maggs is a very good player but we have so many more important needs than him, esp seeing he will be gone anyway. Why not use him to get some much needed pitching. As said b4, good pitching beats good hitting.
