True, only a few pitchers are effective at that age, most of them are HOF types (which Wells is not). The thing is we're talking about two pitchers that are over 40. At least Wells has been getting over 185 IP over the last few seasons. Personally, I like Cintron, he's versitile defensively and doesn't embarass himself at the plate. However, I recognize that he has little trade value on his own.
I checked Tallet's minor league stats, descent peripheralls. The only issue with picking him up off of the waiver wire is that AZ has too many pitchers as it is. Any addition has to include a subtraction and not only would that trade get a pitcher better than El Dookie but it also frees up to spots on the 40 man roster.
