David DeJesus or Alexis Gomez?

I know this will be an unpopular view, but I would say trade M. Sweeney for everything we can get. Why, you may ask? Because he's been hurt. When was the last time he played in more than 120 games? 110? I know, I know, he's a good guy. He's everything we would want as far as team player, team leader, all around good guy, not to mention that he's one of the best hitters in MLB bar none, WHEN HE'S HEALTHY! I just have a gut feeling that his back problems aren't going away. I hope and pray that this isn't the case, because he sacrificed a hell of alot to give the team he wanted to play for a break......We'll see how it rolls, but you and I know it's a business........ and I would hate to see Mike be p****d off at us because of a business decision. JMHO (Ihate baseball when it's all business )...........Go Kick a**

The trading Sweeney thing probably won't happen, no matter how much sense it makes. His contract has many poison pills, including a limited no trade (he specifies 8 teams at the start of the season, everybody else is hosed), and if he is traded to one of those eight teams,his salary sky rockets to his 'street value' at the time he signed his contract with us, $15 million.
