A's Fans, what do you think will happen with Zito?

also...

If Zito were to be traded under the scenarios that I outlined, I would find the following packages acceptable.

Zito to the Mets for Milledge OF, Heilman LHP, and another close to MLB ready spec or another good pitching spec.

Zito to the Dodgers for Billingsley RHP or Broxton RHP and 2 other great specs such as Martin C, Elbert LHP, etc.

I don't see the Yankees and Red Sox being able to meet Beane's needs with their farm systems. The Red Sox are in a better position, but I don't think Zito would sign with them after the season.

I don't think Beane would trade Zito to the Angels because their in the same division.

and for all the Padres fans...

Zito to the Padres for 3 good / close to MLB ready specs 2 of which would need to be pitchers.

Padres? Sweet.

Zito for C Kotteras (top 5 C prospect), and OF Ben Johnson. That sounds fair.

don't tell Providence A's that the Padres will trade for Zito. His head will esplode.

[SF Kid]

What wil lhappen? The same thing that happens with most of the A's stars -- he'll get traded to somebody or be let lose in FA. Sad.

Another performance like tonight and Zito continues to price himself out of our range. Not like the range was much to begin with...

I wouldn't mind seeing Barry walk...it wouldn't surprise me anyway. Rich is the future...if he can stay healthy.
