This is a common misconception, but should certainly be made clear to some people. Thanks! Hi

We could get much more in return for Putz, but what would we do for a closer? As far as the Mets, Dan Murphy is a hitting machine, and I would love him in the blue and teal. But it would take more than just him to get the deal done. What can we do to get rid of Silva is the real question?
