Of course, had Andy moved him in May, he could have gotten plenty for him.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers acquired first baseman Sean Casey from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday in exchange for minor league pitcher Brian Rogers.
Casey, a career .304 hitter, gives the AL Central-leading Tigers the left-handed-hitting presence they have lacked as they head toward a playoff berth.
To make room for Casey, Detroit optioned the contract of first baseman Chris Shelton to Triple-A Toledo. Shelton is hitting .277 with 16 home runs and 45 RBI.
Chris Shelton was no magic bean.  He was the epitome of the "real" major league talent that COPS touts as the be all and end all of rotisserie transactions.  Well, DUMP says buyer beware this "real" talent.  DUMP has been quietly advising its members to stay far away from Rule 5 bums like Shelton and one-year wonders like Jhonny Peralta.  Real baseball talent, no matter how inexperienced, always rules in the end.  Not to say that there aren't exceptions (see, e.g. the man formerly known as the King), but let this be a lesson to all of you COPS naysayers.
 
That is all.
