He was far from brilliant late last season, is getting older and I'd rather spend the money elsewhere and assume Coke is the lefty specialist in the pen. The pen is solid and Joba may end up back there too and with Melancon pretty much ready and Adam Dunn & Wilkens DeLARosa probable Lefthanded hard throwing Bullpen types in the wings, Marte is a luxry item we could do without if his 6 million can be used elsewhere.

PA will write a post criticizing his readers for being so melodramatic and then turn around and suggest something like this. It's just as absurd as the fans who think the Yanks should sign every free agent under the sun. Here’s my issue with it and I know I’m late to the party.

thinking outside the box would be to:

1. name the player
2. say WHY his team would want to trade him – this is key
3. say who you think would be traded for said player
