I agree Shaw value would be more useful via a trade for a pitcher this deadline, it would be an easier task to do if guys like Triantos, Long, etc in the Iowa looks to be ready to make that jump to be a productive bench bat.
I agree Shaw has better upside then Bote, It just feels like hes headed in that direction as Bote was for the Cubs, a guy Hoyer hoping to turn into a Zobrist type...
Bote never panned out, to be determined with Shaw
