Brian Lawrence

Or B-Law, we used to call him--which suggests how long ago he was effective--strikes me as the kind of 30-year-old back-of-the-rotation signing that would make it possible to trade a young starter.

I do not think that will happen. But if the Pirates collect some guys like Lawrence, all the talk about "blowing a hole" in the rotation by trading one of those guys will sound silly. The dropoff from the young guys we have to starters like (a healthy) Lawrence is not so great.
