He's been in the minors for 7 full seasons, and he'll be 26 in April. Why would the braves trade prado or jj for a 26 year old rookie? If he's not good enough to play for the brewers of a couple years ago OR the royals last year what makes people think he'd be good enough to play for any playoff contending team?Viagrahttp://www.xlpharmacy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-20233229678495843782011-02-26T17:42:00.411-05:002011-02-26T17:42:00.411-05:00What a bonus it would be if Wang can come back str...What a bonus it would be if Wang can come back strong this year.
