Sometimes he is late getting to a ball in the out field. I don't care how good his arm is if he can't get to the ball fast enough. That said what will his skills look like in 3 yrs since they have eroded to this point now? That is why you let him walk or he takes a big salary cut. When he has eroded to the point that he can only be a platoon guy then you can't have starter money locked into him.
