I think it would take one heck of a package to get the Giants to trade Schmidt. However, Kirk Reuter and Bret Tomko are most definately up for grabs. Schmidt is starting to regain his form, in his last two starts he has allowed 0 runs, has 15 K's and has only walked 3 in 16 innings. If he continues to improve like this then by the trading deadline the Giants are going to start asking for more than Kelly Shoppach.

I think the Red Sox rotation with Schilling and Clement is more than capable of getting the job done, they need help in the bullpen and that should be priority one. Getting someone to replace Vazquez shouldn't be too hard, they could look for a Tony Graffanino or a Chris Woodward, they also have a pretty good utility guy in Dave Berg down in Pawtucket (Berg is hitting .299 with 0 HR's and 33 RBI's for the PawSox).
