It struck me that Jack ususally surprises us with his deals. Let's have another. Whether we are out of it for 2010 is irrelevant. Jack's job is to make the team better, now, 2011, and beyond. Get a big bat at the deadline, proving to Lee that the team is serious about winning, then resign him to an extension. He's a special pitcher and anything we get for him will pale in comparison. Quality vs. quantity. We don't need another star prospect C like Montereo. Bard/Alphonso are quite serviceable if Johnson/Moore don't want the job. We just need the big bat (Dunn, Fielder?), and the rest of the team to perform to their career averages.
