Aardsma has the better numbers, and some teams overpay for a guy that has "done it" in the bigs, but for the most part teams are smart enough to realize that Lowe's pure stuff and potential is much better than Aardsma's.

It seems like he's finally producing the legitimate fruit we expected, but he's not quite there. Wouldn't it behoove us to hold onto him for at least another year, (or till the AS break), and allow him to fully develop so we can extract maximum value in a trade? Aardsma is there. Ship him off. Let Mark Lowe pull an Aardsma in 2010 and then ship him off. Or keep him. Sean White isn't that good. He's like Sean Green. If someone wants him in a package, meh, have him.

Like you said, with guys like Fields, Aumont, Vavaro, and Orta not far off from the big leagues, there's a very good chance one or more of Aardsma/Lowe/White find themselves in another uniform next season.

I don't honestly think much will happen until December, but something will. All the rumors surrounding Seattle coming out of the GM meetings, makes me believe JZ is working hard to put something together....
