people will rant no matter what the FO does. for crying out loud you guys are becoming a nuissance. sorry guys. but it had to be said.
what did you expect for the Youk trade. he wasnt staying healhty and after his DL stint he was getting into some cold stints with hitting.
meanwhile the rookie is raking at 3rd base. how can this not be a win win situation for everybody.
lets just geton with playing baseball shall we. his trade value wasnt going to go up, and he was blocking Middlebrooks, that is not news. did we sell low.. maybe.
but we had no option. Youk sitting while Middlebrooks playing wasnt going to increase his trade value.
A smarter GM would have really traded Youk before the season started, but that would meant he envisioned Middlebrooks replacing him on day 1 and everyone of you would have cribbed about it if Ben made that move... ... reposting it
