There's a d...Why didn't wet protect Uceta?<br /><br />There's a difference...they have a LOT of well regarded prospects and can't protect them all. Instead we do protect Reynolds, Cecchini, McGowan and others who could have been protected and not risk losing them. <br /><br />Fortunately they dodged a bullet.<br /><br />Of course, with a vacancy on the 40-man Alderson could have chosen someone but apparently even the $100K fee is too rich for his blood.
