Thats the big key. Does anyone really believe that the pirates would receive a top notch prospect for a guy with one year left on his deal, injuries in the past, and consistency issues throughout his career? Even though Lirano is relatively young, it does not seem likely. Its a stupid basis for an article.

Teams do dumb things all the time. The Dickey trade was dumb on its face and Toronto still made it. Looking to cash in on Liriano isn't a bad idea since he's gone after this season. I just don't think any team will give the Pirates enough to make it worthwhile.

Marte also led left fielders in runs saved.

For the anti-advanced stats crowd, they now track holds and whatnot. He held the runner to not taking an extra base over 70% of the time- no one with more than 100 chances had a better percentage. People just didn't run on his arm, which limited his chances to rack up assists.

The problem is that Gold Gloves are often awarded to the best offensive player at that position, like when Nate McLouth won a Gold Glove. Carlos Gonzalez won it despite being a below-average LF last year and he was better in the field this year.
