Your reply is trading away a 21 year old prospect for sandwich picks? Who is what 7 years from Free Agency.

I'm impressing upon you that I am comparing the value of him playing for us vs. the difference on return.
I understand the difference on return will change (in Doc's or Snider's case), but that is not worth more (in my books) than the value of him playing for us!

Yes, but that is not the sole factor in this discussion, that is the logic of my Snider comment.

Asset management case study: AJ Burnett
Assets moved to acquire player: None (maybe a supplemental pick or something)
Player's contribution to team: #2 pitcher for about 2 full seasons (out of 3).
Player's salary: Close to, perhaps below fair market value.
Assets acquired when surrendering player: Supplemental draft pick
What's so poor about that asset management?

Who said anything about "knowing they could not resign" anyone?
Doc sure hasn't said that.

Those comparisons never work, I shouldn't have tried.
