Beckham for Zambrano? Sox could use Big Z as a DH.

The word on 35th Street is that Gordon Beckham is now available for the right trade. In weeks past Beckham was no touchy. But  with the Sox desperate need for a DH that has more than warning track power from the left side the young infielder is now trade bait.
We all know the Sox would love to trade Mark Kotsay, Scott Linebrink, Mark Teahen and AA talent but who is willing to take these guys. The fact is Andruw Jones is a great price at 500K for a 4th outfielder with some pop.  But as a DH he is just not cutting the mustard.
Maybe the Sox could get Carlos Zambrano as a pitcher and a DH.  Really he would hit better than what the Sox have now as a DH.
With Dan Hudson have trouble finding the strike zone he too may be on the trade block. The fact that we have not seen Dayan Viciedo in awhile makes me wonder if he will be sent down when Teahan returns. Maybe Teahan will be the new left handed DH. Why not Harold Baines? With his new knees he maybe able to hit.
The White Sox will be willing to part with Carlos Torres, Randy Williams, Tyler Flowers and outfielder Stafan Gartrell from their minor league players who are on the 40 man roster.
