I can't argue the trade thing. Conrad or Hulett might be blocked on their current teams but a bat like that should have some value. Certainly enough to swap them out for something their current team MIGHT actually let step on a big-league field.
Conrad was better than Bloomquist, but one of them has been drawing a big-league check for many years and one of them never will, and it's not the one it shoulda been, IMO.
And I was a big fan of the Hulett acquisition, btw. Even the moves we made that I liked in the Bavasi era were not allowed to pan out in our favor. We traded Shin-soo Choo for Broussard, then Broussard for Hulett, then DFAed Hulett to make room for Luis Pena, then released Pena to make room for Messenger.
That's just a downward spiral to suck right there.
