For Huntington, who's generally perceived as one of the more astute GM's, to go off the reservation like that, means either Niese pissed him off or he's even worse than he looks. Or both. Either way, his trade value is virtually zero now. Even if he was free, though, I wouldn't want him back. I'd rather take my chances with Verrett or Gilmartin or Ynoa and hope for a Wheeler sighting eventually.
