Arlo, if you are on, I have a quick question

[mktgteach]

I am about to propose a trade and I don't know whether to ask for Zito or Wood.

I am going to propose Klesko, Urbina, Carlos Hernandez for Berkman (Wood/Zito)

He offered me Hidalgo for Urbina, so I know he is at least looking to deal.

I have Mesa on my roster as my only other closer. This will still leave me with the leverage of having Batista for another possible trade for other needs.

The guy in this trade really could use a 1B (He has Pena and Lee Stevens). Klesko qualifies at 1st.

Zito or Wood? I like them both an awful lot, and would value them just about equally. They're so close, in fact, that you can probably let the other guy choose which one he wants to give you if it helps get the deal done.

If I absolutely must choose one, I'd go with Wood, but that opinion probably isn't worth much more than flipping a coin.

Good luck!
