Seems odd with two lefties.

Major offensive upgrade but a defensive downgrade--Thome has barely played any 1B in the last couple years.

Vinny just made it official on the broadcast.

He doesn't need a link.

it is odd, he could also be the 2nd left handed pinch hitter we've acquired in the last 2 days, this one would be alot more expensive..

Could we see a situation where Thome plays for 6-7 innings and Loney becomes his late game defensive caddy?

Does getting Garland mean we can get rid of Padilla?

SF got Penny, LA got Garland for the stretch run. Who came out better?
