I'd agree if they were not trading prospects so close to the bigs... rare to see a team trade their top two position guys when they are this young and in AAA. Let alone when the guy coming back has one year of service time left.
Ike Davis has value at least though if thas true. Just wonder what the jays are going to do at catcher? JPA as the long term guy? Doesn't sound great.
