Since its only really fair to compare Minor league numbers at this point because Macha hasn't given Gamel a shot in the majors. Gamel, Age 23, 5 minor League Seasons, 2248 PAs, .302/.374/.488/.892 McGehee, Age 26, 6 minor League Seasons, 2836 PAs, .279/.332/.409/.741 McGehee is having a good year, there is not doubt about that. But we have 6 years of evidence against lesser talent to see that he probably isn't this good of a player. 27-29 are about the peak years of a major league player, so maybe he is coming into his prime, but this could also be the tip of the mountain. There is always talk on this site about how Melvin always waits to long to trade a guy and he misses trading them at their peak value, well, this very well could be another situation like that if we trade Gamel instead of McGehee.
