Taj Bradley Holds the Key to Converting Front Office Skeptics

If Bradley, along with SWR…and very-recent-Abel keep this up, do we offer Falvey his job back?

[Trov]

In no way should how Bradly does affect how the old FO did in trades last year.  Falvey is gone and we should not care if he made good or bad trades at this point.  We can hope that trades work out for the future but why should we care that old FO did it?  

That being said, I have no issue ever trading a pen for a starter.  Even more so when he is younger and same years of control. If a guy is doing fine as a starter you keep him there, but if not then you can try pen.  But if they are failing out of the pen you do not say well lets make them a starter.  The fact that Jax is having poor start and Bradley is having great start does make it look like a great trade, however, I still feel it was a fine trade overall even if Bradley moves back to his Tampa numbers and Jax to his Twins numbers.  They provide nearly equal value in my opinion as Bradley pitches more innings.
