Tell me who takes a spot in the rotation if one of our starting 5 goes down with an injury. Mitre? Nova? Gaudin? Then what happens if Javy and/or Burnett keep giving the consistency we've come to expect from them? Then what happens when Hughes hits his Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-57500550312664943462010-07-10T07:42:38.900-04:002010-07-10T07:42:38.900-04:00poster boy for red sux eliminated from all star te...poster boy for red sux eliminated from all star team by the universe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-39393227046076666472010-07-10T01:40:52.309-04:002010-07-10T01:40:52.309-04:00I'm with you.

In the short term, I understand Cashman's directive to win it all, and this would certainly have moved him towards that goal. And with Romine and Sanchez, we may have suitable replacements for Jesus (who may not have a place to play).<br /><br />But as a fan, I would like Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-6236881702397973362010-07-09T22:47:30.302-04:002010-07-09T22:47:30.302-04:00I'm with you on this one.

We're capable now and can bolster the weakest parts of the team for far less.

But ultimately, this would have been a boneheaded trade because it would have completely, utterly failed to optimize the value you'd get out of Montero.

At best, he can develop into a very good DH, but that's about it. They have other catchers in the system who they obviously value more at that position. <br /><br />If they had gotten this deal done, I would have been OK with it. It would not, as some people seem to think, cripple the organization long term. They still haveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
