My One Post On the Hot-Stove-League Impending Debacle
Imagine your spouse or whatever saying, "I'm going to trade in your Corvette. I know you loved it, I know it felt like part of the family. And I know what amazing things it's capable of. But it's high-maintenance, and expensive, and it broke down last summer. Sure, it can be fixed, but do you really want to deal with the headache of driving it around all next year? Even if it is awesome?
"Wouldn't you rather have a nice Taurus? Sure, it's used. It's had a few owners, and none of them were really crazy about it. It's not going to impress anyone. But you won't spend as much on gas, and it will get you around, for the most part. It's just not exciting.
"Plus, that jerk next-door neighbor you hate says the Corvette should go."
How would you feel about that?
How are we supposed to feel about trading in Manny Ramirez for J.D. Drew?

The key question is whether or not Manny really was injured at the end of last year or did he just want not to play after that 5 game Yankee debacle. If the latter, then it is time to get rid of him. Just the fact that this is a question may make the decision in and of itself.
On the other hand, I want them to get some value for Manny - Miguel Tejada from Baltimore perhaps, or Mark Texiera and a prospect from Texas, or some trade like that. Or a combination of people like Carl Crawford and Scott Kazmir from Tampa Bay.
Also, FWIW, JD Drew is not someone to get excited about.
