That would be too horrible. And we can rag on Hendry all we want but trades are his forte. I don't believe he'd make a trade that stupid. If it was a free agent, that's another story.
well, can't disagree with that :). I guess I was just looking at him as a solid signing, in general, not necessarily for us. Yeah, I think he'd be a good pickup but we have other needs.
Why not, he's a future DH in the AL. Because he doesn't hit well enough to cover up for his terrible defense? Is it that hard to understand? Your comments describe Cust perfectly too. And I think Fox is better than Cust with his .239 career average. Cust is actually probably the upside of Fox. Cust has a career .829 OPS, he's fairly valuable. But Cust's plate patience is much better than Fox's.
Gray seems like a decent cheap reliever and the other two seem like they have some potential. That might not sound great, but it's awesome considering they took Miles off our hands. Thank you Billy Beane.
