These guys are serviceable, but not core players, or even average major league regulars. The Cards are giving up much too much at several places on the diamond.

I sort of agree re:Eck, but I think you are severely underrating Molina if you think he's not even an average major league regular.

Guys I'd definitely have rather than Molina in 2006 (19) (projected MLB starters)
Varitek (BOS)
Posada (NYY)
Hernandez (BAL)
Pierzynski (CHW)
Rodriguez (DET)
Martinez (CLE)
Mauer (MIN)
B. Molina (TOR)
Jojhima (SEA)
Estrada (ARI)
Barrett (CHC)
McCann (ATL)
LaRue (CIN)
Willingham (FLO)
Navarro (LAD)
Lieberthal (PHI)
Doumit (PIT)
Piazza (SDP)
Schneider (WAS)

Guys I'd definitely prefer Molina to (2):
Hall (TBA)
Ardoin (COL)
