I agree with him. However, it seems he's suggesting the Reds not do something that no one else has really advocated. I don't think too many people wanted to mortgage the future. And from what I've heard repeatedly, the Reds have no desire (or plans) to trade Homer anyhow. I've seen it reported on multiple occasions they would consider trading Arroyo or Harang this year, while trying to compete, before they'd trade Bailey.
So it seems he's preaching to the choir.
