Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to trade a 2nd round prospect from a year ago for a 7th round prospect from a few months ago. Why would they? They've invested a high pick on him, clearly they'll value him higher than someone so recently taken 15 picks from the end of the draft.
Yup. Clefty hit the nail on the head. That was a cherry picked argument to make. Harrington is proving himself. If both guys are equal in 2 years, maybe there is a trade to be made. No way in hell right now.
