No, No, No

Just because Paul Konerko turned down more money from the Orioles to stay with the White Sox does not make it a good idea to ship Jorge Julio to the Mets for their enigma, Kris Benson.

Julio had a down year as a setup man in 2005. But with B.J. Ryan in Canada, the current members of the Orioles bullpen are: Julio, Chris Ray, Steve Kline, and four "help wanted" signs. Trading Julio for a starting pitchers who Baseball Reference indicates is statistically comparable to legends Art Mahaffey, Mike Krukow, Cal Eldred, and Kip Wells is a bad idea any way you slice it.

Trading Julio I am not opposed to. Trading Julio for a pitcher with a 57-61 career record making roughly $6-million a year I am opposed to.
