After last year and some interesting case studies I read about performance post trade, there might actually be something to dumpster diving at the trade deadline. I do agree that I don't want to trade a top prospect unless we are getting tons of control.
I mean he isn't a LH OF bat, but it still improves the team. I wouldn't be willing to count on all of the starters to have innings left in the 2nd half, let alone not get injured.
