If it's the start of Spring Training and I have a veteran lineup that can contend
that year for the championship, I'm not trading guys away so I can call up guys who might be as good if they pan out. If the team is not contending come the All Star break, then I can flip them but I'll be darned if going to trade guys who are taking me to the championship whether they've peaked or not.
