but I'm afraid his trade value will never have been higher than it was earlier this season. And Melvin kept him to (sigh) try to finish .500. Sal Bando, anyone? I'm all for "chasing" that 81st win, but in the case of Danny Kolb, it's clear (at least IMO) that he SHOULD have been dealt poste haste, given his past, his age, and the salary he'll be commanding this off season.
