Trade him for a pitcher?  But he's worthless,  right?  What could we get for a "worthless" player?

 

Couldn't have been said any better.

You mean Graffino of the no arm, no range, can hit RHP clan?  No thanks.

For Tony G.

Looks like Tony G is doing fine (except for that injury thing). At at a 2004 salary of just over $1 million, I would have preferred him over Jose. And what good is range and a strong arm if you can't catch it and throw it to the right place? Oh, and so far, Tony has 1 error, Jose has 10!!!!!!

Drop the Graffanino thing. He was never a good starting SS, and probably never will be.

Graffanino, the guy who has a distinction of not only having a lousy fielding % but also a weak arm and no range....at 2B!
