Now can we be realistic about Blackmon

#50

Quote:Whenever someone talked about acquiring a player, one of his Ketchman's boilerplate responses was "picks, not players."

 

Predictably, most here regurgitated his spiel without giving it much thought.

 

But the whole point of picks is to get players.

 

Not "jars on the shelf," mind you,  but guys who can actually make a positive difference in a game.
 

Like anything else, it just depends on the situation. How many players have we had on our roster not worth trading (since 2001). Taylor, MJD, Mathis, Stroud, Henderson, and maybe a handful of others? Even then, it wouldn't take much to be worth more than the contributions of Mathis, Stroud, and Henderson. 


What's your definition of positive difference? We've had OK players, making what I would consider a positive difference, but definitely trade-able. 

 

If your team is successful, I wouldn't propose trading players for picks AS OFTEN. Since we haven't been, I don't see the problem with high turnover.
