No-MAH to the Cubs; just part of crazed "last minute" MLB trading deadline frenzy

Because at this stage in his career, Clark is better suited to occasional starts at 1st, and being a late defensive replacement and switch-hitting bat off the bench. Which is the role he would occupy if Giambi were healthy.

Granted, Olerud isn't much <s>younger</s>, but he was still playing 1st on a daily basis, and is physically more prepared to be out there every day.

*(Clark is younger by about 4 years-- thanks, Dru)
