As long as Barrow doesn't cost too much and his retirement in a couple of years doesn't have a significantly adverse effect on the cap, I think it's worth picking him up. Trotter is getting paid way too much for his unspectacular-- if solid-- play, and Mitchell-- as others have said-- is getting a little too immobile to be effective as a starter. Barrow can adequately fill the starting MLB hole until one of the younger guys already on the roster, a future draft pick, or future free agent acquisition can take over.

If Barrow asks for too much (as has been the Redskins' experience with soon-to-retire former stars), then let Mitchell fight it out with Clifton Smith for the MLB spot, and possibly look for a June 1st cap cut.

I wonder what we would have been offered for Bailey if we had Davis still. Im glad the way it worked out, it will be nice having an elite back. Had Detroit given us their first and second it would have been tempting though. THen we could have Taylor and Winslow. I think Portis will be a bigger factor then either one of them though. Had we taken those two then say Ben Watson or Chris Perry with the second round pick it would be a lot to think about.
