Who Else Should Be Calling a Realtor?

With CC gone, who should be the next to be calling a Realtor?  In other words - who's next off the island.

  • CasEy BlakE - His trade value has probably never been higher with his sudden inexplicable ability to hit with RISP.  Plus, he's blocking Andy Marte.  Downside - can anyone else on this team hit in runs?
  • Paul Byrd - He might have some value to a contender needing a 5th starter to eat some innings.  Downside - hasn't pitched well over the last month or so - might only bring organizational filler in return.
  • Ryan Garko - Matt LaPorta looms, and his swing just seems to get longer and longer.  Downside - might stop swinging for the fences and start hitting like last year again.
  • David Dellucci - Veteran presence off the bench.  Downside - we'll probably have to eat his contract and even then we'll likely only get organizational filler.
  • Ben Francisco - Classic fourth outfielder.  LaPorta can play left.  So can Choo.  Pretty good arm.  Old for a rookie.  Might provide someone else with a little pop off the bench.  Downside - Really, not much downside I can see.
  • Rafael Betancourt - Maybe he's jumped the shark.  Can we find someone to buy based on his lights out season last year?  If he finds it elsewhere, we'll probably regret it.
  • Andy Marte - Maybe he really is overrated and we can find a buyer based on that great season at Richmond.  His trade value has probably never been lower, though.
  • All of the above
  • Someone else?  Who else might have some value but may not be in the longterm plans?  Gutierrez?  Choo?
