Damned if you don't....

That's Omar's predicament today.  

If he makes a trade to get a reliever, a corner OF or even a much-needed SP, the media and most fans will slaughter him for "overpaying" and trading away a top prospect or even a prospect whose reputation and potential will be boosted by the fans and media post-trade.

If Omar doesn't make a trade, the media and most fans will say that we didn't have any prospects that anyone else wanted and will slaughter him for "ruining our farm system" by making the Johan deal, or will even revert back to the "curse" of Scott Kazmir.

Enjoy your day, Omar!  :)
