That's a good point.
However, non-contending teams don't need a Grade-A closer...that's a luxury.
It's also a type of player that a playoff team would salivate over, thus making him a perfect trading chip: not that important to us (if we're indeed sellers), yet highly coveted by contenders.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
