I'd take Drabek+Snider over Grienke anyday. DJF hit the nail on the head, people need to relax and realize Snider is only 22 years old!!! Most Major league prospects dont make an impact in the league until 24ish. He has excellent speed for his size and will easily be a 30+ homerun guy as early as next year. He hit 14 in under 300 AB's last year where he had an injured wrist. A full healthy season and playing everyday to get 500+ AB's IMO he hits 30 HR easy.

I would however wouldn't mind seeing a veteran arm added to the rotation and have Drabek and Stewart battle/share the number 5 slot.

As for Pena it would have to be a short term deal kind of a mentor to Lind to show him the ropes of first base. They could split time as the DH and first base together
