OK...We MAY have to trade Bedard this year, if he won't extend. I can live with that, but tradeing prospects this year seem a poor move. We have $12M of Silva/Milton salary coming free and we have young, promising guys at almost every position, minus catcher. Minus putting Figgins arse on the pine, I'm standing pretty pat, right now. I'm letting Smoak and Ackley and Carp and Halman and Peguero develop. If we could trade away part of Figgins' salary for something else, then we free up those several millions, too.
And back to Figgins....Assuming he IMPROVES to .200/.250/300...There is still only one 3B since 1960 with more than 100 PA'S who has performed that badly...Dave Roberts with the Padres in '74 went .167/.246/.252
If he gets to .220/.300/.320 (IF?), he becomes on of 32 3B since 1960 (with 300 PA's) who have performed at that level, which is WAY elevated from his current performance.
I'm shaking my head.
