If they're going to trade that away, they have more than a right to ask for an Edwin Jackson or Dan Meyer. Despite how great those guys may have been in AA and AAA-ball, and no matter how ready they may be considered for the majors, neither of them are Tim Hudson. They have no track record to back anything up.
I don't think it's asking too much at all.

It's not asking too much - it's asking too little. Why trade a proven ace who is arguably one of the top 5 pitchers in the game for prospects? They should be able to get at least one proven player out of this deal.
Obviously I'm not Billy Beane and I don't know what he's thinking for this season. The Kendall deal made me think the A's are still looking to contend in 2005. A deal of Huddy for prospects sure looks like rebuilding to me, and that sucks.
