Trading Vargas?  Am I reading that right?  We've got a guy who is establishing himself as a #2 or #3 arm who (considering his skill set) may throw like this until he's 96 years old (see Moyer) and we're going to trade him for Brett Gardner?  Ish!  Eeeck!  Yuck!!
We have some interesting pieces who may develop into LF'ers.  I would much rather see what a Peguero or Wilson develops into out there than trade a Vargas. 
BTW...We gave up a guy who may well be better than Gardner when we traded Carrera for nutin' last year.   Arrrrgh.  Hated that then...hate it more now.
I am becoming more intrigued with Johan Limonta all the time. He's tearing up AAA right now and has hit .297-.302-.331 and OBP'ed .376-.377-.384 over the last three years (AA-AA-AAA).  He's 27, I know....but didn't play pro ball until he was 22.  He doesn't hit the ball out very often...but he's hit 43-30 and 41 doubles over the past full three years (not counting '11).
Wally Joyner and Mark Grace-lite!  Or, being more local, Bruce Bochte.
But, back on track, I'm playing the Felix-Pineda-Fister-Vargas hand as long as I can.
