I understand it is time to dump some $$$, but damn he was one of my favorites.
We also get a player to be named later. Do such guys ever turn out to be anybody good?

Yes, PTBNLs do turn out to be good sometimes. Trea Turner is one we dealt. David Ortiz and Gio Gonzalez were PTBNLs. I think Jason Schmidt might also have been one.
Haven't ever really been a fan of Venable's, even though for a couple years there he was one of our better players...which speaks more to how little talent we had.

That being said, Melvin Upton, although not as good, is a lot more entertaining. I've always liked the fast guys, even if that isn't usually what leads to wins. They are just fun to watch.
