Guti's real value isn't found in his runs created or his AR. It IS found in how much Boston or somebody else is willing to give up for him?
He's a mid-level (at best) offensive player in a park that kills his offensive skill set. He's a very nice defensive CF in a park that exagerates his defensive abilities.
In my ideal workd, Guti was peddled this winter while he still looked real good in his makeup and all the GM guys didn't see beyond the makeup. College guys in a bar. You know the routine.
You get lots for him that way.
Now we're in a Catch-22 situation. Best trade scenario is that Guti rips the ball early which drives up his value. Problem with that is that if he rips it early then Z is going to be sure that "his" guy is about to explode.
I'm afraid we're stuck with him for another year...which means 2 or 3 more.
When you're struggling to get anywhere near .500 then a 2 for 1 trade makes great sense.
Trader Jack? Let's hope so.
