Trade Idea

I know these are being thrown out there left and right, but tell me what you think of this scenario. I think Gio Gonzalez makes a lot of sense for us. We could have him under team control for 4 seasons and the As look like a good partner with their need for offense. Would Montgomery, Robinson, Melky, and Cuthbert make sense? We would basically give up two players with no long term future in Robinson and Melky, which would basically turn Montgomery into a proven starting lefty in the majors. And Cuthbert plays a position that is currently filled by Moose. I think this, while spending all of our money on a 2013 SP FA, like Greinke, could make our rotation formidable if Hocheaver maintains and Duffy improves. We would also be able to keep Myers and Colon, whose positions are probably not filled in the long term in the majors at 2B and RF respectfully.
