First of all, buy the book, the majority of our thoughts are accumulated into that periodical that will undoubtedly bring you great pleasure as the ESPN.com COUNTDOWN TO THE TRADE DEADLINE clock winds down to zero.
Secondly, buy the damn book or kittens die.
Third, let's breakdown some of these potential trade "targets":
Mike Wuertz | RHRP | Oakland A's
Drafted by the Cubs in the 11th round in 1997, Wuertz ascended the Chicago ladder like most premium relievers: as a starter in the minors. Armed with a youthful trio of Kerry Wood, Mark Prior and Carlos Zambrano in the rotation in 2003, the Cubs moved Wuertz to the Iowa bullpen. Wuertz flourished in his new role and soon found himself in Wrigleyville assuming filler work in the early part of 2004 but earned a taste of high leverage situations in September for a playoff contending team.
