We can give up middling guys to get a #4 starter, which is what we really need.

We have a guy that is one of the top 10 2b in baseball already in Flip. That guy's a legitimate ML hitter and average defensive 2b. I honestly don't see anyone available for trade that's better than Lopez.
There's nobody available that would help us more in the playoffs than Roy Oswalt, IMO. He would also take a lot of pressure off Garcia going forward, thus protecting one of our young assets in the process.
Oh yeah, and with Oswalt in the starting rotation, Garcia can be moved to the LHRP role in the post-season and we won't have to watch Sweat and Miller walk every lefty they face.
