Our first clue as to the state of the Cards-Shelton relationship will come this weekend. Graves said of Shelton that he's under contract and they expect him to fulfill it until a decision is made. Will Shelton show for the minicamps or not?

By your logic that noone traded for him during the draft makes him a crappy player, I assume you feel the same about Henry since he didnt get traded either.

Pretty much. No one wanted to give up anything of value for a guy that had one year left on his contract and was benched halfway through the season for poor performance.

I'm not saying that either are crap. I'm saying that neither has a value over a third-round pick. Maybe someone offered a fourth for either, and were turned down, but we'll never know. What we do know is that no one wanted to give up a 3rd round pick for Travis Henry or L.J. Shelton, and that Buffalo wouldn't trade Henry for Shelton.

Philly wanted Ryan Moats more than Travis Henry. What does that tell you?
