[quote=BigRapidsJackass

I do hope Fuentes gets moved if we get a reasonable offer, but there's no point in moving him for a couple of mediocre prospects -- we'd presumably get the same kind of value by taking the compensatory draft picks when he leaves. Then again, whatever team acquires him also gets to replenish with those picks. That's why I think the price will go up in the next 10 days, and he will get traded.[/QUOTE]

What do you mean by the end part of your quote, Jackass? I admit this stuff still confuses me. If WE lose Fuentes to free agency then we get a couple of compensatory picks. BUT if we trade Fuentes to the Rays, why do THEY "also get to replenish with picks?"

If we trade Fuentes to the Rays for two prospects, isn't that the end of the deal?

Or is Dealin Dan (remember when he was called that) trades Fuentes is he expecting to get Longoria, Pena, and two prospects?? Is that what he's holding out for?
