No way we could keep running our 4 & 5 pitchers out there to give up 5 runs in 5 innings every stinking game.

Even if we gave up Miller for Oswalt (unlikely given what the Astros took back), we'd have him for at least the rest of this year and all of 2011.
This was a travesty. We owned Ludwick's rights through 2011. Either we keep him through 2011 and get type A compensation for him.
Instead, we trade him for a fringe #4 just so that we'll get his salary covered.
That's pathetic.
