For a 6th season minor leaguer, he's progressed nicely this season, but yeah, I dont expect him to come anywhere close to the numbers he's projected at.  Was he a DITR?

And neither one is **** Bomber.

I will probably trade each.

I mean, I figured you would...

It is really hard to trade DHs, much less get value out of them.

I have in the past. Not everyone values the right stuff to get these bats in the draft, and if they're groomed appropriately, someone looking for power might have an offer in a few seasons. They'll hold some value.

It took you like 3 seasons to trade Hartman and he is way better than either of those guys.

Even then, I think you had to couple him with a couple of other guys to get the guy you landed.

I am not saying you can't do it, but it is much harder to get the value you think you should with DH's.

I can hold onto these guys as long as I want. With so many people devaluing advanced scouting or training, they might pay higher for the return of a nurtured hitter rather than a raw prospect. I'll move one of them when I get a good enough offer, and I'll include them in a package if it gets me someone even better. I could move forward without really needing to make a deal.

Sweet, congrats man.
