But that said, I just don't enjoy the idea of trading a third or fourth round pick on a guy we could have signed as a free agent. It's one thing to trade a seventh rounder for that kind of player, as we did with Ragone.
To trade a third or fourth would be pretty significant. Maybe I just overvalue draft picks, but I don't like watching us trade first or early second day picks for guys we could have signed much earlier.

Right, I agree the picks are too high. I was assuming when I asked my question that if we did sign Bennett that Faulk won't play this year. Maybe we will have to overpay because we are out of options. :down:
