I'm not one of those people who is eager to get rid of Randy (although I was opposed to trading for him in the first place), but if the Yankees can get a decent return, it's sopmething to consider. Certianly, with Wang, Pettitte, Mussina, and Igawa, Unit is superfluous, especially if Pavano is healthy. But even if he isn't, there's Rasner, there's Karstens, or one of the kids might surprise us and be ready. (I'm not counting on that, however, and I really would prefer to let them develop in ranton/Wilkes-Barre.)

If this trde is made, it might not be a bad idea to get a couple of fifth starter types on invitations or minor-league contracts, just in case. Armas maybe?

Brian Fuentes pitches for the Rockies not the Diamondbacks
