Re: I'd be surprised if Blake returns
Magloire is the prototypical rent-a-player, and they do have value in IMO. I don't know if anyone else follows baseball (the trade deadline was yesterday) but there is always teams that are looking to make a run that will trade away prospects for a proven, quality player that will help them in the short term.
Center is by far the hardest position to find a quality player, and Magloire is a very tradable asset as he could be used by a team to make a run in the playoffs. Ideally, there would be a team like SA or Detroit that has a lotto pick (acquired from someone else) that they would send to us for the use of Magloire.
Anyways, I "feel" empathically for Steve Blake because it seems that he is a solid guy, stand-up citizen and did everything right...but it is a business and sometimes things happen that aren't expected. I'm sure he'll do well in Milwaulkie or where ever he ends up, but S#!t happens. ya know.
