Someone to disrupt chemistry or be an outcast on the team? Give your heads a shake.

I don't think the people advocating picking him up are doing so to fill a need... rather to get the asset (high pick or good prospect) that has to come with him for us to take him, AND to try and get an asset after flipping him and keeping 33-50% of his salary.
On a rebuilding team with $ available, these are good opportunities. Heck, we can even put him on waivers ourselves and send him to the minors if nothing else...
