He's being wasted in AAA right now, but the truth is, they don't have a spot for him. Duffy is locked in at 3rd, Belt/Posey at 1st and Aoki should be back soon in LF...I guess as a PH, but not sure he's that kinda guy yet in his career. Seems like he's more valuable as a trade asset, unfortunately.

Some people dont think we can get alot for him. In my dreamworld, I would package him along with another prospect to get another SP or bullpen help.

We couldnt get a lot for him. If the Giants didnt think enough of the kid to bring him up when McGehee was stinking up the joint or when we needed another bat then I seriously doubt another team is going to be willing to pay much. I think he could be more valuable as a RH bat off the bench than a trade chip to be honest.

I wasn't trying to say Duvall would be the centerpiece for a trade, more an asset to sweeten the deal. Like pd said, he could be thrown in as another piece to get a SP, OF or RP.

Duvall isn't a bad prospect at all, he's just not a very good 3rd basemen which is why they didn't look to him as an answer to replace McGIDP. He's been playing more 1st these days, and could be a very good option for some teams as a backup (121 HRs in 5 minor league seasons is pretty special). We're good at 3rd and 1st so he's just not needed here.

I dont disagree but with his limited trade value right now I think he could be more valuable as a bench RH bat. Now if by adding him to a deal we could get someone good.. then that would be fine.

Might not be a bad idea to wait and see if he really has made this progress he was talking about with his swing. He runs ok, maybe a little work in LF? Any guy that can play third ought to be able to catch a flyball, no?

He probably couldn't be any worse than Ishikawa in LF and we won a ring with him there. But again, once Aoki gets back, there's not going to be a lot of ABs for anyone else in LF.
