7 c'mon, the Pirates still have 5 or 6 guys left from the opening day roster, there's gotta be a 5th starter or roster filler available. Neal's waiting for your phone call, Sabean! 6300535

6 You are all insane...to get Halladay it would take a package of Bumgartner, Posey, Merkin Valdez AND paying Halladay's contract. I am all for them going after Arroyo or Garland. Great fly ball pitchers to pitch in the black hole that is AT&T. Let's make it happen, Sabes. I feel we need another arm as opposed to another bat. Although Carlos Lee is interesting...but very expensive. 6300480

5 that and in no way are zito, sadowski, bowker and velez enough for halladay. it'd be more like a nick noonan, henry sosa, connor gillaspie, sergio romo. and thats me hoping they wont ask for bumgarner but more than likely any and every team will ask about him. 6300000

4 No one will take on Zito's contract. Face it... he and the Giants are stuck with each other...besides.... theres not enough talent in that trade...not unless Zito was pitching at his best, consistantly...and if he was....the Giants wouldnt offer him...so no point in entertaining the idea 6299377

1 Why not take a shot and move up Madison Bumgarner, a la David Price or Job Chamberlain in previous years? 6296554

The Giants are now considering trying to picking up a fifth starter in addition to extra offensive help, a need that arose with Randy Johnson's recent injury. The acquisition of former batting champion Freddy Sanchez, plus first baseman Ryan Garko, bolstered the Giants' lineup, but they haven't ruled out trading for more offense. They've scouted Miguel Tejada, Carlos Lee, Josh Willingham, Nick Johnson, Mark Teahen and Marco Scutaro, among others, though some of those players are no longer of interest after the addition of Sanchez and Garko. Reds starter Bronson Arroyo is available, but he has $17 million to go on his contract through the end of next season. The Diamondbacks' Doug Davis and Jon Garland are also available. http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY
