Rationale: Though I am currently atop my division, I stand no chance staying there. I began my rebuild before our MiLB draft, because my auctioning skills are pretty bad. I spent way too much, way too early in the auction. Gray is currently a buy low prospect, Nottingham tore it up last year, and stocking up on 1st rounders can't hurt my rebuild (assuming I draft better than I auction)... All for the low low price of an overpaid Braun. Yes, Braun is a stud, but I am selling high on him, because of his age and injury history.

Rationale: Braun is a huge upgrade for my OF, and having half the contract covered makes him a good value, as well. Plus my rotation is OK even without Gray.
