can anyone come up with a handfull of players that were valuable pieces to their team that struck out >30% of their ab's and walked <10%? WMP would be cool to keep around for pre-game batting practice displays, but he's not good enough to play everyday for a contender.

maybe if his defense had any value whatsoever i could understand waiting out his "potential", but theres really no need for it.

He had a great 2006, and it would be really stupid to just give up on a 25 yo with that much potential just based on 130 ABs.
