Byrd or Willingham (who I prefer) or Rios (who would be my 2nd pick, but is in a homer slump) are part one of a two step process.
To tell you the truth, I see them in Hart's role.  Mostly because I don't see Hart finding his old mashing bat anytime soon.
That leaves us still in need of a LF who can get on base.
If you got Willingham (OBP) or Zobrist you could be in tall cotton with a bonking Byrd.
But we're not getting two of those guys.
Zobrist may be the best match of all the guys spoken about, but he's likely the most expensive in terms of guys swapped out.  Here I would proceed carefully.
They are all "matches" but each brings some baggage.  It's really a "pick 'em" bet on who has the best 70 game run. The cost in players traded may be the key.
