But as a GM, you've got a young pitcher, a lefty, and a guy who puts up MLB-average performances for WELL below MLB-average pay. There's also the distinct possibility that he could get <i>better</i>, especially if they ever gave him a defined role.
Those are a lot of plusses.

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
