Pitcher vs Hitter

First fanpost....yay

Anyways, with all this talk about trading away vets and what not, it got me thinking: Why is everyone so keen on keeping our stud pitchers, when we could realistically get a huge bounty for say Timmy. I know a lot of people around here are very fond of him, but if you can get a Bedard/Haren type package, would you really not do it?

The way I see it: the Giants position players are still a ways away (3 years at the earliest? most likely 4), and by that time Timmy will be 27/28. Three to fours from now is a long time for a pitcher and who knows what could happen. There is so much unknown with a pitcher whereas a bat is more of a sure thing. The minors are stacked with pitching right now while the bats are hugely lacking any sort of prospect status (aside from Big V, but that's even a question mark since he's only 17). So why not trade away one of our stud pitchers for a bunch of prospects?

So my question to you all, if you were start a whole new team, would you start with a (Clemens, Pedro, Timmy, Randy Johnson?) or a (Bonds, Pujols, A-Rod?)
