I know this is somewhat old news, but the poll reminded me of two questions I've been wondering:

1) Will we move him?

2) Who becomes closer?

I'd like to see Luis Ayala get a shot at it if he's moved, but I'm thinking that since we have Rauch under control thru 2010 well under market for a guy with closer stuff, I'm thinking we hold on unless we get an offer we can't refuse. That said, whether you check www.mlbtraderumors.com or espn.com's rumor section - everyone seems to think Rauch is on his way out. Thoughts?
