    I'm bummed about this one. I really loved what Akeel brought. That changeup just has so much potential.

    The new AND old administration didn’t like him. That means there is just something there we don’t know about. Otherwise...there is no reason at all for him to not be on the MLB roster. You don’t trade anyone you give an ounce about for cash considerations.

    BTW....how many Braves do the Angels have now...?!?!

    Does Dansby move to 3B when Simmons is the PTBNL?

    Or it could be Pujols. He plays 1B and Freeman goes back to 3B. I just don't think we saw enough of that experiment last season.

    Heck, I'm not sure the OLD one did either!
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
