Oakland's starting pitching has been everything that was promised to us in the offseason and more.

The league's best pitching staff has given the A's a chance to win almost every game they have played so far this season; the culprit of the losing ways has been the team's offense.

The new acquisitions (David DeJesus, Josh Willingham and Hideki Matsui) have been inconsistent, as have the returning starters. Coco Crisp represents the hottest A's hitter, and he is batting just .281.

Pitching depth and a number of young prospects that would be appealing to other teams in a trade give the A's the opportunity to add the impact bat they are sorely lacking.

Here are a few sluggers (in no particular order) the A's could target as the trade deadline approaches after the All-Star break, or preferably before—some obviously more realistic than not.

Which player would you want to trade for? Which ones do you not want any part of? And more importantly, who did I miss that you think would be a good fit for the Oakland A's?
