However, I think this board has largely over-rated the AD trade opportunities. Personally, I'm no more comfortable waiting than I am trading. Waiting until the summer assumes 1. The market is better 2. AD didn't get injured again 3. His value is relatively "better" than it is now. Maybe that's true, but that just feels like a coin flip to me.
The Atlanta trade they have listed looks the best, but also looks too complicated. At least with that one Gafford is still in play.
AD’s value will be the highest at the deadline, provided he can stay healthy until that time. The offers proposed right now would be significantly worse than in February, when teams have seen if they are an AD away from making a run.
