If he can play SS, he's a different prospect altogether.

No disrespect to WM, because I've seen this "attitude" a lot on this forum over the years when it comes to valuing their own players. But the logic is, someone starts a thread "What Are We Going To Do About (position) Because So-and-So Ain't working Out? Lets trade So-and-So to upgrade another premium position.

[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
