This seems like a smart management move, so I'm going to rule out snitker as an influence on this one.
I forgot about cornely getting called up at 26, giving up 4 runs in an inning, and then never pitching in a major league game again and being out of baseball in under a year
and Soroka... and Fried... and Kyle Wright... and Ian Anderson. We're trading a couple of these guys and getting back something big.
