I'm mulling over a drastic move for the Terriers that could potentially benefit us long term but sacrifice our playoff hopes in the final month of this season. We're currently in wildcard standing (67-57) earning us a cool 1,000 plus points and a potential promotion out of silver.....
OR
I could sell off long time Terrier Sal Bando (who's been terrible for 10 seasons) since he happens to be selling for a whopping 17,000 in the AH because he's a crucial piece of the "Charlie O's Oakland A's" collection mission that scores a 98 Vida Blue card.

If I made this move, Aparicio would take back full-time SS duties, and Manny Machado would start training up at 2b where he's currently a zero. Machado has the ratings to eventually get into the 80's at second, but he might blow our chances at the playoffs while he bumbles around out there.

Should I sell Bando and take my chances with a ton of card packs? Or focus on the playoff run and worry about Bando later?

(This is why I have Terrier pee-puddles outside my office door every morning when I show up at the Dog Park....they hate when I think about stuff)
