Here's my reply on another forum;

Then trade Dukes and pawn the risk off on someone else. The Rays are gambling waaaaaay too much here, and not only that, they're the ones laying the odds. They now need Dukes to stay out of trouble, Baldelli to stay healthy, and Gomes to be good. None of those are good bets, and they need to hit at least a two player parlay.

On top of that, even if their ceilings were the same (they aren't), Garza is more risky than Delmon. All that risk, for what? A guy who's going to be a fourth infielder in two months and a guy who is arguably their fourth best reliever, even though he's going to make ~$2.8MM. Too much risk, not enough reward to make this worthwhile for the Rays.
