Ah, but the "sell high" scenario is interesting. Suppose he has another 2007/early-2008 swoon? He's not getting any younger.
Still, you'd be gambling that the real Delgado is what you've been seeing since late June.
In either case, if Delgado is a one-year solution, might it be better to spend that money filling holes elsewhere? No one would expect Evans to hit 30+ HRs, but the OTHER 1B prospect in AA -- Carp -- could hit 20+.
As it stands right now for 2009 you have a two-man pitching rotation of Santana and Pelfrey. You don't know if Maine is healthy. And don't even get started on the state of the bullpen. You have 2/3 of an outfield. There are lots of holes to fill.
I'm not advocating, but I am wondering what Delgado at his option year price would net in a trade coming off the spectacular finish he's had in 2008?
