At this point, i think the value of the veterans is set. The only thing that can happen between now and August 31st would be for their value to go down.

The first to go has got to be Mark Sweeney. What good is a pinch-hitter for a last place team going nowhere??

Trade, DFA him and bring up one of the young outfielders. Playing them now against real major leaguers in the heat of the summer is going to tell a lot more than in September when they are playing against also-rans and fellow minor leaguers....
