To me, Delmon Young is now an immature kid that can't control the strike zone. Kennedy is an immature kid that nibbles too much. Delmon has the higher ceiling, but not controlling the strike zone is a problem that is difficult to fix and ruins careers. Nibbling is more easily fixed. As of right now, Kennedy is still a fair bet to have a 10 year career. Delmon Young is at risk of complete flameout. Can’t say I agree.

IPK would be a 3rd starter. Realistically IPK doesnt match up, Delmon Young still has the talent to be the top prospect and hitter in the minors he was a few years ago. IPK would be a 3rd starter.

They must like what they see from Posada's rehab, Cervelli, and Romine. And maybe Jesus, too. Or maybe they are just being reckless. We will know in about 8 weeks!

That'd be painful. Maybe Cabrera/McAllister. A lot would depend on what Seattle thought of those players. I guess it would have to be Kennedy. That’d be painful.

So they have a little leverage but if they wanted to go all in for this year, they could try to trade Delmon young, but not for washburn. Sorry, two years.
