Far be for me to rush to 9ers' defense, but every trade - no matter how big or small - includes the typical overreactions and cynical replies.
My personal favorite:
On the other side, there are those who already claim Yepez will never make the majors. He sucks...just because he's gone. So, you can't win either way! To be fair, most of the responses were positive, but the frustration of losing baseball always has to be vented in this forum with a minor trade as a lightning rod.
Yeah, the press corps will be calling for Coppy's head if Adams isn't on the 25 man roster next April.
Woof Woof!
Apparently, it wouldn't have been laughable and pathetic if he'd been a acquired 6 weeks ago. Maybe there weren't any reasonable offers?
Then somebody had to chime in about Kelly not being brought back. Yeah, let's just repeat that same pattern of bringing back ex-Braves/warm bodies, then trying to extract another shot in the dark when deadline day rolls around.
