He may not, and his ceiling is not so high that if he reached it the Reds would regret trading him, as long as they got a good return for him.

I think Chris Dickerson can play league average CF in 2010, if healthy, and I think with the numbers Stubbs put up, he could be the centerpiece of a deal that gets the Reds a real 4-5 win player, being it a SP, SS or LF, which is something that the Reds could really use.


Just for one example, Stubbs, Gomes, Francisco and Wood for Matt Kemp.

With a very solid rookie campaign and Dickerson/Heisley to cover the position, I love the idea of looking to move Stubbs in the right deal to upgrade another position. He is a very valuable player with Gold Glove defense and a league average or better OPS for his position.
