That park does to ERAs what crack does to one’s mind….

Since I own Holliday in one keeper league, I’m a little disappointed by the trade. Since I own Peavy on the same team, my hope had been that Holliday went to San Diego and Peavy to Colorado. Now I don’t know how I’ll get a leg-up on Papa Smurf in the forums.

Yeah, Beane spun some high-priced, questionable major leaguers for an All-Star and some young prospects.

@Ashley: Somebody needs to balance the bench when Sandoval sits down? The Giants were paying for an all-you-can-eat buffet for Sandoval and they figured they may as well take advantage? They bought too many under shirts for Sandoval and rather than them going to waste?

But seriously though, why the hell would SF spend that much money on a pitcher when they have Lincecum and Cain, and a HORRIBLE offense.

From a fantasy perspective, I’d prefer to see him go to the Rox. Add some spice to NL-Only leagues, cause right now all the Rox are getting is borderline pitchers that I don’t really want to own in Coors.

ESPN.com previously reported that Smith was in the deal, but it’s now backed off that statement. FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal adds Carlos Gonzalez and Huston Street to the list of players involved. However, we doubt the Rockies are getting those two and a young starter. It’d be a surprise if Gonzalez is included in the trade.

Billy Beane only feels alive when:
1) He makes trades.
2) He stumbles upon a small-town prospect who marvels locals with his ability to take borderline pitches.

This could end up being a good trade for the Rox if they get Gonzalez.

If they do well in the year they keep him and let him walk to get draft picks (a la Giambi). If they aren’t doing well they can trade him to a contender fro prospects. Who do they give up, Street? They were looking to trade him anyway last season. I wish a different team got him (Mets) but I think this will work out for the A’s.
