As I said earlier they'll probably trade Erasmo Ramirez for a guy like Drew Stubbs, Wilin Rosario, (going to change positions most likely) or Corey Dickerson. If you guys want Blackmon I'm sure they'd have to give up Elias.

Seems fair. Saunders has moments where he is pretty darn good. Don't like seeing him go.

Hrm, I was hoping we'd get more for Happ. After the WBC in 2013 I thought Saunders was due for a breakout year but it never happened. Hopefully playing in Toronto will help him. I guess he's going to be the every day LF.

Padres sign Clint Barmes

Getting slightly irritated with Lester taking his sweet time. Make a damn decision already.

I swear, the Evil Empire is lurking right now with a 7/170. I can feel it.

Good deal, he's a very different hitter than the boom or bust approach that most of the guys on that squad have.
