    i only think it's desperate (if i even think that) because jennings is a FA and won't be worth whatever he's likely to ask for and they have $6.25M in sunk costs (aka the last year of woody williams' deal).

    so i think they're gonna need 2 arms at the top of the rotation to go along with roy.

    it's such a minor concern in the grand scheme of things. besides, ausmus is quietly putting together one of his better seasons.

    I would not be surprised if the person that gets traded is ausmus. He is quietly have a "good" year at the plate.

    Until he recovers from Tommy John surgery, yes.
