Quote:Absolutely. Eugene Monroe was one of our best players, so the only reason to trade him was collect two more picks.

I'm sorry, female logic always gives me a headache.

 

Do you imagine it's possible Dave Caldwell received some indication from Monroe and/or his agent that a re-signing was unlikely and with that knowledge he traded away one of our best players for a mid-round pick, rather than play out the rest of a going nowhere season and see him sign with another team as a free agent, the net result in that case being Monroe gone with no compensation? 

 

Or do you think Caldwell is just an idiot?
