I think he would be most important to trade on the roster. There's no way we're getting draft picks for him as a type A.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I want to keep him.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why pay him 3 million a year when we can pay Gaub, Parker, Stevens, and others a fraction of that?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
because it's entirely possible that those guys are gonna suck?

Exactly, what you and Coldneck said. Grabow's been a rock solid MLB reliever the last couple years, and you know what you're getting with him. We have so many coin flips in the pen, I like having a guy like that, especially a veteran. Right now it's looking like Marmol and Guzman late. We need somebody like Grabow for the 7th/8th inning.
I like how all of those guys Scarey mentioned are doing, and have really liked what I've seen from Stevens. Regardless, they're not going to be pitching past 6th inning situations for a couple years with the Cubs.
