I don't care. If you want to trade him, please do so and then just hope nothing happens to Martinez. Speaking of value,
Garko's should be pretty high right now with his RBI total from last season but that's just my opinion.

garko had one good month. otherwise, he's a slow, defensively poor, singles hiting 1st baseman. garko's value was definately higher after '07 than it is now.
and nobody is contesting that martinez+shoppach > martinez+garko. it would be assumed that cleveland would either retain sal fasano for another year, or get a backup catcher should they trade shoppach.
and, to be accurate, your equation would have to include whatever cleveland got in return for shoppach. so, it would be garko+martinez+shoppach return > martinez+shoppach.
