The 90's-00's Atlanta teams were great at trading their overrated prospects for established MLB talent, but it seems like Moore is too scared to trade. Guys like Mike Montgomery and Chris Dwyer could have been key pieces to trade for a very talented player two years ago, but now they are virtually worthless due to waiting too long.
