I do not want to see him traded for guys we hope will be ready 3-5 years from now. That would just be stupid.

He's underrated b/c he's been perceived by fans (and by old-timers, according to Petro) as being soft. And this perception has been fact.

That said, he's still a solid player, and I agree that the Royals better get much in return if they're looking to move him.

Either get big-time return, or sign the dude to an extension.
