The bottom line is, we let Brendan Harris go to the Devil Rays for nothing, the Brendan Harris who has an .800 OPs, for our beloved Castro who never hits (or barely does), has limited range and for some reason we choose to sign him or trade back for him versus calling up a AAA scrub for virtually nothing. I don't understand that love affair, and it persists no matter who the GM or manager is.
