The question is, why would you throw five years and 80 million on a guy thats 31, injury prone and most likely your number 5 pitcher?
Either way, this staff could easily be amongst the best. If everything goes perfectly, they will be THE best.
Now im hearing Melky for Mike Cameron? I guess they will take whatever they can get for melky now even if its another centerfielder that should no longer be playing center field.

Joba belongs in the bullpen and is a huge question mark in the rotation. He's unhittable up to 45 pitches and is useless from there on out. Talk is they want Burnett (horrible move at 5 years) AND Lowe, Sheets, or Pettite. So at that point they could and should move Joba to the bullpen and let Hughes start as the #5 and see how he does behind an incredibly strong top four.
