Trade Clement Now?

After his horrendous spring training the consensus was that we should of traded him for something of value. Northside Lounge puts it perfectly.

Remember, most of us saw this guy as a fifth starter coming into this year. Right now, his ERA is under 2 and he is the stopper.

If you read scouting reports before the season and during you generally get that Clement probably has the best stuff on the staff. Better than Wood, and better than Prior. The main problem, much like with Wood, has been consistency. If Wood and Clement were able to put together long streaks of dominating starts they would be ranked above Mark Prior.

We needed someone to step it up big time with Prior out and Matt Clement has answered that call.
