Its going to take something like a Lester/Ellsbury for a legit 1. and I guess the cubs would want more for Garza then it took for us to get A-Gon. Plus looks like Yankees are #1 right now in the race for Garza.
I think I'd be okay with Lester/Ells being moved for Hernandez. Lester is probably the most frustrating person on this team with the talent he is capable of, and Ellsbury will probably be gone once he hits the market. Then have Crawford lead off which is where he wants to be anyways.
Hernandez would be a monster here, on a Martinez level.
