1st round pick (#10 Overall from Arizona)
:SFG: sends:
SS Matt Rathburn 26 93 93 $8.5M Arb'19
2nd round pick (#18 in the round, originally from Colorado)
Now it looks like I'm giving up Rathburn, but the #10 pick gives me tremendous position in Tuesday's draft. Plus I won't have to deal with Rathburn's contract demands as I'm in full rebuild mode. Rathburn isn't even the type of SS anyone would want, he's more of a DH/Corner position guy. His lack in defense makes him a lot less valuable to me as he would to a guy like PS.
