Problem with trading for Shaw is that it just kicks the can further down the road. Do you want to win now or just keep building and building while bricks fall off the bottom of the building? Kirby... Logan... they're not going to be here forever.

By the time Shaw, Emerson, Young turn into above average players (if that ever happens) you've just punted the best rotation you've possibly ever had as an organization... unless you firmly believe Sloan/Anderson/Miller/Woo are going to be just as good...

What I do like about Shaw is that he seemed to play a good 3B before he was relegated to the OF because they signed Bregman. And he is a right handed hitter who has hit lefties well... but he's also been a liability vs righties... so who knows.
