I'd do that J.C. Romero for Mueller deal in a second. Mueller is a free agent after this year, while Romero signed a two year contract in January. Plus, Youkilis just needs a chance to play everyday and I think he can be a pretty good third basemen, even though he doesn't have a lot of power. Neither does Mueller right now though.

The Overbay deal I'm more hesitant about though. Mostly because I don't want to give up Lester, who as a 21 year old in AA has more strikeouts than walks and hits combined, which is pretty impressive. Mickey Hall shows real good plate discipline and the best power in our system, so I rather not give him up either. Shoppach and Millar I don't care about. If we could replace Hall and Lester with maybe Dave Murphy (who's starting to come around in AA) and a couple other pitching prospects, who are good, but aren't real good. Maybe like Abe Alvarez and Dave Pauley.
