I don't understand a few things: 1) Isn't Weeks the leadoff hitter next year? I think he will be. 2) People would really rather keep JJ and Escobar on this team next year rather than do this trade? To me it seems that would not only stunt Escobar, but just cause even more trouble than before. Also, if JJ was kept and didn't improve, not only do the Brewers have go after Cam for 10 mil, but then pay Hardy's 5 mil and then be stuck with a 4.5 mil player on the bench or in the minors. 3) I don't think a MLB GM should keep guys to "Hope he regains his trade value" I don't think there was a market for JJ at all and Melvin took what he could get, and got it.
