It's hard to believe he has no trade value -- heck, we got something (probably not much) for Kevin Barnes. I am just hoping that we didn't trade him means we're trying to find a way to get him back. Probably not going to happen.

I'm with you on this but it also boils down to his knees. How healthy is he really? He's battled the same issue's for what two yrs? three? his knees keep swelling and he keeps getting less time on the field.

Announcing is the perfect gig for him. He likes the camera and atleast we can understand what he's saying vs. Randel El. sometimes Randel just mumbles words.
