Papi has me a little confused here. He thinks Boston falling out of playoff race shouldnt hurt his chances then he says this:
Complaining wont get you anywhere Papi.
Melky is the perfect 4th OF on a championship team IMO. However if another team overvalues him and we can get something good for him I would deal him. Buy low sell high. Trade him at his highest value (if you can get something good).
I wouldnt count his last start. He was clearly rusty and after the game he said his groin felt fine. He will shake off the rust and he will be ready for the playoffs.
