It would be a bad move to trade him now because his worth is so little. People aren't going to pay based on what he used to be worth.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
I'm going to be honest; It could happen, and it wouldn't shock me. The A's need a 2nd baseman and a MR, and Zito is an ACE but Power Pitching wins in the playoffs.
I really hope Zito is pimped off to some other team. It would help us (A's fans) SOOOO much.
We need hitting. Badly. If we can get that by selling off Zito, great.
Plus, Harden should be ready to be a #3 starter next year. I think it would actually help him to have the extra innings and longer leash during games that comes along with that spot.
Help please:

Neither of the guys in the rumor are what I would consider a big time hitter.

Damn it, if the A's need 2B and some power I think they should talk to Seattle. I'd love to see a trade of Zito for Boone. The change of scenery would help Boone out and while the run support probably would dive lower for Zito he'd be pitching in a pitcher's park. Besides, I'm a Mariner fan and would love to see Zito come here. Maybe he'd help even out the rotation after we traded Garcia away.
Brian Roberts isnt even better then Marco Scutaro...........he isi n fantasy b.c of the SB.
Harison? he is solid, but wtf would billy give up zito for him.
again you guys are crazy, if Zito is going to be traded the A's will get something GREAT in return. His contract is peanuts anyways, I just don't get why you guys continue to belive all these crap rumors you hear from sites and of all people Peter Gammons?
Last season at this time Gammons claimed that the deal was done Lilly & Blanton to the Jays for Escobar? ya right, see that was stupid idea, blanton is going to be better then both, and lilly is better then escobar.
Don't listen to gammons, he is hardly ever right.
Again the A's WONT trade zito unless they got something great in return.
and HERE let me KILL ALL ZITO TRADE RUMORS WITH THIS NEWS
Tim Hudson is going to miss at lleast 1 start after the break and most likely more, HE HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN.
That right there is why Zito wont be traded if my other reasons werent good enough. Hudson is going to miss more time and Blanton is not ready for the bigs.

Maybe Zito won't get traded then because he currently sucks and the A's are NOT getting something great in return.
I think you think with your heart when you fight these Zito rumors tooth & nail. You're going to be eating a lot of crow if Zito gets traded.

ahhh.... the crux of the matter.
not how much value either 2B traded to the As would lose... he'd stop running.
