When considering trading for a player it doesn't matter what he once was. It matters what you think he's going to do in the future. And to quote myself from before, Just off the top of my head, I'll take Pujols, Howard, Cabrera, Hafner, Wright over ARod any day of the week. I realize that you have to take a players position into account as well but you must take age into account as well. Where would you play Pronk? 1B. If Ryan Howard can play 1B, Pronk can too. I think if he were a viable option, Cleveland would've given him more of a shot considering their lack of first basemen. He's in the AL. If you don't have to play him at 1B, why do it anyway?
