What is Saunders' value right now? I mean, trading him for another French level pitcher (or worse) doesn't get the M's anywhere. He's not one of the game's top prospects and at this point is probably as valuable as Wlad was 12 months ago. As in, he's not very valuable. He's the type of player that is going to have to play his way into some value before it will be worth trading him. M's fans place value on him because we've been following him for years.
I really don't get the urgency here, Taro. Ackley could be two years away for all we know. And if he kicks butt and puts himself into the coversation sooner, so what? Unless you've got a premium level all-bat guy, having a full time DH strikes me as silly anyway. Rotate guys through the DH to get them extra AB's and keep them fresh.
This seems like a solution looking for a problem to me.
