We have D'Arnaud (21) and Jiminez (20) and Nessy (17), not to mention JPA. You deal from strength. Selling high on Perez is a good choice.<br /><br />Agon is going to command similar to what Doc did. If you want to be an instant contender, you make the move. It's a fair deal.Gil Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177204960812280259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-59016839157946116372010-08-27T14:41:37.537-04:002010-08-27T14:41:37.537-04:00Yes Gil, that is a dumb trade.

It wouldn't really be fair to the opposition, especially when there is a void at first base for next year.<br /><br />I'm firmly in the camp of Drabek, Carlos Perez and something to San Diego for Adrian Gonzalez.

As a result, the latter 3 will be looking for BP spots or trades to other teams to continue as starters. All 3 have shown glimpses but their time as starters of the future is over, barring injury to the top 6 or a blockbuster trade.<br /><br />AA has performed brilliantly in trading major league talent. it remains to be seen how well he can peddle his AAA/AAAA talent to other clubs.MJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655511182506995468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-16541884831796952092010-08-26T15:45:12.132-04:002010-08-26T15:45:12.132-04:00I read them, I just don't post much.
