Interesting...

Okay, let me put it on the table. Here's DB's original offer:

RF Abreu
1B Howard
SP Beckett

for:

LF Holliday
SP Zambrano
SP Penny

And this is my counter offer, which he hasn't seen yet and could reject:

1B Howard
SP Beckett
RP Zumaya

for:

SP Zambrano
SP Penny
RP Timlin


I figured I'd want to upgrade my RP a bit for losing a starter. Whether DB will accept or not, I don't know.

I wouldn't mind Tejada or even Dunn since I should get a reliable 1B, whether him or Howard.

Hmmm...
