San Diego, State of the Art

Friends and foes alike, San Diego is a team that often looks like a wayward ship traversing the harbors of futility with occasional sunshine and fair winds. This season is somewhat of the latter, with incredible young outfielders performing like seasoned veterans (Reader/Makraev) and just enough pitching to survive (How is Ted Mills 14-4 with a 5.19 ERA?) while most arms are finding .500 about right in the BrewStade.

San Diego is making one last plea on the trade fronts:

Available:
The aforementioned Mills, Joe Barrett, Juan Jose Carbaja, Luis Sandoval, Mike Chase, Nat Downs, OF Daniel Rodriguez, OF Bryan Caldwell, IF Mike Land

Looking for draft choices or minor leaguers who are in the 2-3 star range, will package multiples

San Diego is in the years long throes of financial duress (remember giving up Ortiz?) and is still wallowing in slack attendance.
