DateQuestionAnswer
2011-04-18 13:00:00Dave Sappelt continues to rake in Louisville (.333/.388/.533). The Reds sent him back to AAA nominally to work on his baserunning. Though it clearly needs improvement, the bat is ready and he's a plus LF defensively. Does he have real trade value or is he simply too small to gain the confidence of potential trade partners?
(RMR from Chicago)		I think even if you dream on him, he's a second-division starter. (Kevin Goldstein)
