I've decided to trade Joey Devine instead of Snider to anyone who needs a prospect pick. Here's what ESPN has to say - they have him ranked 9th among AL RP's:
"2009 Outlook: Devine has rebounded quite nicely since being rushed to the big leagues prematurely by the Braves a few seasons ago and giving up some high-profile homers. He came back from an early elbow injury to be absolutely lights-out down the stretch last season, setting himself up to be the likely closer for the A's this year. He'll have to beat out Brad Ziegler but has a leg up entering camp, even though manager Bob Geren says both could close games. His stuff is filthy, and, early Braves stint aside, he can keep his mistakes in the park. If his health holds out, he can be an absolute bargain among closers."
Some mid-round pick gets it done.
Also Papi is more than available if anyone wants him.
