I'd rather keep Castro over Gordon also, but it's not like Castro is here long term..... And he likely has value.
Buxton? Definitely scorching the ball right now. What to do with Julien when polanco returns? It's a small consideration.
I'd trade Kepler faster than Buxton can run.....
I understand the arguments for keeping Gray and Maeda.... And won't be annoyed if they do. But there are so many buyers, and so few sellers, I don't be annoyed if they get great prospects back.
The biggest issue for me is the hesitancy in the OF, and now third base. They just refuse to see the years of data from the OFers.....
