Oh I agree, I hope India comes out of it. I think he's a good leader. He's been a very bright spark thru some bad times. It's just was all that just beginners luck? Or how ever you want to put it? There was trade talk going on among the media/talking heads before DLC was called up and India's name was in the mix.

I was NO NO trade Newman, Senzel, Stephenson or whoever but not India. Butt:

Now, I'm not so sure who should go? But, again, I feel in the end it's most likely for this team to truly become a player for the big dance they're going to have to do some trading to get those last couple pitchers to compete. I'm starting to fell if India is traded for Nolan Ryan I'd be ok with it. Being dramatic for effect of course.
