Meanwhile you have a legit player who has a lot of his career still ahead of him playing for another team.

I know what you mean, and Royals fans have sure as **** been in this position far too often.
That said, I don't think you can think of DDJ as a player who fits because we have a 1B, 3B, SS, LF, C, etc. coming up. It just doesn't work like that because one or more of those players, likely, won't develop as hoped.
DeJesus is just a solid ball player, and I hope we keep him. But if we can get max. return, I think you have to make the deal. I'm in the same place with him now as I was with Soria last year.
If the return is REALLY solid, you make the move and don't look back.
