| While I hate to see guys like CC, Victor, Cliff, etc. be dealt for prospects, it's not stupid. I'm not saying I love the returns we got for them, but you have to shop them when you know you can't afford to re-sign them or when their value has peaked and you're about to enter full rebuilding mode. Would it have been better if the Indians - who had no chance of making the playoffs in '08 - held onto CC and watched him walk after the season? Then I'm sure it would be CC's fault for being selfish and chasing the money, right? |
