Franchise GM: Invalid Transactions / Re: BiG TRADE Boston/Florida (Hanley)
« on: February 15, 2010, 05:53:32 PM »
I am not on TC, but I would let this trade go:
- Hanley is a bargain at 11.5M per year, but he becomes less of bargain at 14.7M (if we take into account the 16M sent to FLA)
-For a small market team, is it really smart to have so much $ tied to one player?
-The prospects are pretty second rated, but Anderson a year ago was a top prospect, there is still time to bounce back there. Bowden on the other hand can still be a solid #3.
I also don't have anything against rich teams essential buying players. There is a point in which it's advantageous for small teams to "sell" players to the richer team. By simply saying that it's unfair for rich teams to buy players would just block anther avenue for small market/medium markets to compete. If someone is willing to send me $ annually, I'd think about giving up Wieters or Upton.
