I also think the Pirates would give you Josh Bell, and that might be exactly what you're looking for, if you're willing to be a bit patient.

That's not how the logic was laid out. The OP didn't mention that he "couldn't hit with Santana" as being the reason for the trade. The post mentioned basically wanting to upgrade at 1B and not wanting to deal anything of value aside from his current 1B. I don't see anything realistic about that, unless, of course, he wants a prospect like Singleton or Bell.
