Expand There's no way in HELL that the Pirates are going to trade Jones for Robert...they believe his value is closer to Crochet's. And they're certainly not going to add another "bigger" salary while getting rid of the much cheaper and younger centerpiece of their rotation. For Davis+ without Jones being involved at all, sure. We love to take on the baggage of former first round draft picks that fail elsewhere...and then try to "fix" them, usually failing somewhere along the way. But especially when there's a dramatic position shift like catcher or 1B/3B to OF. That's our specialty, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
