Does this guy have any trade value? Silly me, of course he does.. The way he explains it he is the next coming of Nolan Ryan.. But seriously, we need to get rid of him and his attitude.. Wonder if we can get anything good for him..
Perhaps we can throw in Juan Gutierrez, when he heals, and get a bucket of bats in exchange. OK, two buckets of bats. :)

Yeah, in hind sight he was probably a mistake. I guess you can't expect the new GM to bat a 1.000. The guy had an era of about 5 last year and he's probably about the same now. Doesn't have a go to pitch...

You forgot the best quote:

As for why he accepted the assignment to Reno instead of choosing free agency?

"The money," he said. "They have to pay me $2.3 million to come here."

even if we have to eat 90% of the salary, trade him. He doesn't need to be a cancer even in Reno with some of the talented young pitching we have coming up through the minor leagues.

There's gotta be a team that is desperate for an arm that will take him for the infamous "player to be named later"

Too bad they didn't figure out what a tool this guy is before they traded for him. I started wondering about him one game a few weeks back when he was screaming at Montero in the dugout after he gave up a home run.

he was one of the few pitchers who doesn't at least give a head nod to us at the pool before games. #justsayin

I hope we cut this ass hat and don't even take the energy to trade him.

At this point, I'd be surprised to see Arizona get a used jockstrap for the guy.
