When did I say that those performing above expectations would necessarily be YOUNG players.
You didn't even suggest it. My point is that older players having career years are a virtual certainty to be traded for prospects by some team willing to overpay.
And that is a good thing.
If DeJesus is hitting .330 with an OPS of .850 at the end of June, he will be gone, If Soriano comes remotely close to repeating last year, and doesn't block it this year, he will be gone.
