I don't get this trade at all. Milledge's star might have fallen a bit because of makeup questions but he's clearly the most talented player in this deal.Quote:

Church is a decent player but trading Milledge makes no sense.
Another reason this trade doesn't make sense. If the Mets wanted to move Milledge they should have used him in a deal for something bigger.Quote:

yea, Schneider has about $10 million left on his contract and Church is mediocre at best. Is this really the best they could get for Milledge?
He ended up in St. Louis.Quote:

My roommate, a Cards fan=not happy.
Cabrera trade talks between the Halos and Marlins have stalled - sounds like they want Kendrick, Mathis, and two of Ervin Santana, Joe Saunders, and Nick Adenhart

They may have found the only downgrade from Eckstein on the market.Quote:

Don't know much about Adenhart other than he just completed a very average year. As for Kendrick, the guy is a stud but will NEVER put up Cabrera numbers. He doesn't even have the potential to. And besides, the Angels can easily slide Figgins to second where he's better suited.Quote:

Wolf signed a one year deal with the Padres

Pretty good move by the Padres. Low risk and when he pitched last year he wasn't bad.
I wasn't a big fan of Wolf. He had about 4 good outings last season and he gave up 4 or more runs in 7 of his 18 starts (the same number of times Penny did that in 33)
after the Yanks said they'd be willing to part ways with Phil Hughes, the Red Sox countered by including Jacoby Ellsbury in their package.
