  agree. I don't see why any GM would take a gamble on this guy. He is a very solid pitcher when he is healthy, but health is something he hasn't had a lot of in his career. It would be a blessing to Billy Beane and the Athletics if another team out there wants Duchscherer. That way they can get some(very little)value for him instead of none. What's the chance that the A's even resign him after this season when he's a free agent. Duchscherer is making 3.9 million this year. Despite his injury riddled career, he will be looking for more than that out on the market. Billy Beane is known for bringing young players out of obscurity and making them, for the most part, competitive major league players. If the A's can move him, they should. Get a few AA players. That way they at least get something for him before he's gone. The A's have a pretty good young staff that should serve them well in the future. They dont need Duchscherer so parting ways with him now is probably the best move.
