Ohman in a trade

The Trib is reporting that the flap over Ohman's shoulder "barking" could mean the lefty is traded after the season. My thought: Why not use him to acquire another bat now?

I know there's some debate as to whether Podsednik would be worth picking up -- I'm undecided, frankly. But the Trib speculated that the Sox would likely only give Pods up for a quality prospect. Ohman's certainly not great, but he is better than that.

And if not for Podsednik, why not deal Ohman for somebody else?

I guess I'm wondering what you all think about the merits and the likelihood that this could happen AND what Ohman might net us in return.

And, please, let's not let this evolve into a war over the relative value of Matt Murton.
