Why would Z trade with Detroit just because he could get Frenchy in the deal? How does he actually help us this year? He seems to be a real fringy player who isn't much better than Olson or Jaku, if at all. What's more, once Bedard is back we won't need any of those players. I hope Jack didn't opt for a lesser deal just so he could say he was helping the team this year. The fact that the team controls him for six years is irrelevant because they aren't going to want him for six years! He most likely is going to wash out of the majors pretty quick. The only way to justify this trade using Z's reasoning is if he thinks French is going to be better than the scouting report suggests. Is there any reason to think that?
