He was one of the most affordable all-stars in the game. Doesn't make sense to give that up for pieces. I understand wanting to rebuild... actually, I don't understand that either. They were right there, in the playoffs and beaten by a team that took the Giants to 7 games in the WS. Billy Beane is very confusing.
