Who else has been a louder Ritchie supporter than I have? No one. I still think he's got great potential for a middle-of-the-rotation innings eater (whatever that might be these days). The fact they have him on the yo-yo to AAA is stupid.

Love Caminiti, but I say Briggs would be off limits only because I think Cam would have significant trade value right now (mainly since he's a bit closer), meaning you'd want Briggs be off the table. The #Braves will not want to trade Fuentes or Ritchie, and then you look below and Cam is going to come up a lot in conversations. And, again, I love Caminiti. I do believe, however, they may draft several pitchers next month, which you would almost look at as replacements for whomever might be dealt before August 3's deadline.

As for someone who wrote that no one is off limits for the right player, well, duh. Of course. But I was asked who would be off limits if I were the GM, so I answered it. Those are the ones I would tell teams are unavailable. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be traded, but only the ones I would work hard to not include in a trade.
