And I think selling someone like Stewart or wouldn't hurt their playoff chances at all.

I'm all for and have been all for trading:
Stewart, since last year.
Hunter, since last year.
Ford, since he was worth something like two years ago.
White, who seems to be coming around for once.
And finally, as much as it absolutely PAINS me to say it, Radke. As my absolute favorite player right behind Kirby Puckett to ever wear a Twins uniform, I have liked watching him play. He plays hard and takes his bumps; but is still a consistent pitcher.
The people that could be traded without hurting their playoff chances is Stewart, Ford and White. However, both Stewart and Ford are injured and Stewart is most likely out the rest of the season. Ford has sucked this year, so he wouldn't be worth much. White has just sucked all year and probably wouldn't get much for the Twins unless he comes around hitting up till the trade deadline. Problem is he is probably worth what he is making until the end of the year...then just letting him go.
