I do sometimes and I did not read it like you did.

I guess it was that he was comparing the return for Donaldson to the value you would get out of a QO and not making any comment about getting some sort of stretch run upgrade. I just took it as if they sold at deadline.

**Though they should sell JD at deadline regardless of whether Riley got his feet wet if they aren't in contention. In that respect, I guess I can criticize the post. Trading JD probably is almost entirely independent decision from Riley at this point.

So perhaps I get your reading after all.
