So...yay? Sean Marshall would have been gone after 2012. 2012 was to be a lost season. Whether or not we knew it at the time, the folks in charge did. We cashed him in for a young starting pitcher with several years under team control, a high ceiling low level prospect, and another guy who seemed like he could have been of some use at the time. It's a "tree falling in the forest making a sound" conundrum, not "should they have moved Sean Marshall at the time." Wood could just suck, the other two lumps of meat are gone...it might as well have never happened.
