He may not be having an MVP year but he's solid all things considered. Second, and this goes for Griffey and IROD, GMs may not be trading just for productive players but for commodities. In other words, what players will help them put fan(nies) in the seats. Griffey and IROD are big names no matter how well they do. Granted, Yankee stadium wont have any problem with that either way but I think that factors in. but yeah, I agree with you. :) A good article but I have two points:
