Research:

Needs:-  SP

Thoughts:
-With the signing of an extension for Danks, the White Sox have a considerable amount of players under contract past the 2012 season.
-Morel and Beckham weren’t exactly excelling in the majors, but they are a future part of this team.
-Six different outfielders are under contract and players in the pros last year.
-SS Ramirez’ long term contract is blocking both Escobar and Martinez

Summary Suggestion:
This one looks too simply which means I probably made a mistake.
 All the Mets have to do is trade either Dylan Owen or Chris Schwinden and you have one of the six outfielders on this team.
No, you’re not getting Rios or Quentin, and you don’t want Dunn, but you could possibly have your pick between De Aza, Lillibridge, or Viciedo.
