A Milton Bradley Game
By now, everyone knows that Billy Beane was 
for bat at the recent Winter Meetings. And while he made public that he was willing to take a 
on the oft-injured and aging Big Hurt, I was hoping he'd take an even bigger 
and trade for a guy known more for his past 
, than for his sweet-swing and defensive prowess.
After the Macha debacle, I just wanted Billy to
. I wasn't asking for Giles or Konerko. I didn't want Billy to give up Zito for Thome or Howard. I just wanted him to add a cheap, but effective, bat that could give some protection to everyone's favorite Gold Glove
. He wouldn't have to give up much or even add a lot of payroll, he just had to take that big 
.
And wouldn't you know it, Billy pulled the trigger. Yesterday, he traded for the
and I couldn't be happier. I'm more giddy than a 
.
Now I can only hope and pray that Ken Macha is the target of Uncle Milty's next
. And maybe if we're REALLY lucky, Jason Kendall will get caught in the 
. I wouldn't blame Milton if he went off on Macha. All he'd have to do is say
and that'd be good enough for me.
So, welcome aboard, Milton. I can't wait until you're all healed from your latest
and back on the field...strangling Ken Macha.

Well, as long as you got the princess part of it, you pretty much got the gist of it. IsoP
I think Billy will make another move, regardless of whether or not he signs Thomas. I think it's just a matter of time. I haven't heard definitively when Bradley will be back, but if he's ready to go by Spring Training, I'd imagine that Payton would be moved pretty soon. If he's going to miss a month or two, I'd expect Payton to be moved before the deadline. Kotsay's got that no-trade clause, and Billy loves him, so I doubt he's going anywhere.
And if Billy were to make a trade with the Yankees, I don't think he could get Wang, Cano, Hughes or Duncan. I just don't think Cashman will trade 'em. What's more likely, I think, is a three-way deal that involves Pavano.
Sorry? No. He would not have to say Sorry.
WE would have to say THANK YOU!
