I think Plouffe's tradability is more than just as a 3B. He can play 1B, RF, and fill in at any position accept catcher. Not pickin on you Spinowner. Many people on this site refer to the poor 3B market this year as being why we could not find a trade partner. For me, the 3B market is only part of the story. In and of itself, not a plausable singular excuse.
