I know we might well not get either, but if we could get one which would you prefer?  If we traded for Cabrera, the Marlins would want all our talent in return.  If we signed A-rod, we would be left with about enough money for a Big Mac and maybe a small Coke.  If we went with neither, our offense would be beyond abysmal, dooming us to yet another 90-loss season.  Worse than that, we would have to continue to grit our teeth while we put up with all the shit from the A's and Dodger fans.
