Adams is expendable but I don't think I want to give up Adams and Kelly/Lynn/Wacha/ etc. for Hardy.

Understand Lynn/Wacha. If you could get Hardy for Adams and Kelly, that seems like an incredible steal to me.
Don't think the Orioles would swing on that, and I wouldn't blame them.
But getting a premium defender at SS who is a lock for 20-30 HR? Would be a pretty valuable piece, even for a year and a half, especially considering how depleted St. Louis' options are at the moment.
