I'm in the camp of trading him now while his redeemable true value is at its peak. Otherwise, they won't receive anything of worth whatsoever by waiting around.
I personally believe they must promote CarGO (place him in LF), keep Young in RF, perhaps platoon Salazar/Hairston in RF until if/when Quentin is capable of becoming a 'legit ML hitter.
People wonder who would replace Hudson at 2B if he is dealt. I still hope that it is Upton because to me he's better suited at either of the middle IF spots. No one is close at 2B. Reynolds doesn't have the range for that position and [SIZE=-1]Emilio Bonifacio is still several years away.
I've said this several times, you need as many elite calibre players at each and every position for the most part, so it's a win-win situation to have the OF consisting of CarGO, Young, and Quentin (when again ready) with the IF consisting of 1B (CoJack?), 2B Upton, SS Drew, 3B (Reynolds?). Then perhaps Alex Romero can be given a chance to be a reserve OF (he can play all OF positions) and perhaps D'Antona can be a super-sub in the IF.
Also, I don't think Byrnes would accept a mere 1-year deal. He wants to find a long-term home now while he's w/in his prime and this is the best time to trade him or else the Dbacks are risking getting nothing in return whatsoever.
