If JP lets the guy go for absolutely zilch, I'd personally be so pissed. The guy certainly regressed last year and this year, but he and his contract are not worth dumping for nothing. He's getting what, $11M/season? That's bad for what he's done, but not terribly bad enough as a salary dump. The guy is still young, has a cannon of an arm and can run to a degree. IMO, there are some mechanical problems to his stance, but that's about it. If you trade him, you deal him for something while paying a portion of his salary, don't just salary dump the guy. His potential is there. WTF Riccardi.
