His K rate is just ridiculous this trade looks like a win to me no more Ainkel

this is too funny.
nice find.

We got a very, very good lefty reliever who could help our bullpen late next year or 2012. The other two guys are total lottery-tickets, but no reason to expect much out of them.

All I have to say about the other two guys, is Blanco better not block Kila, via starting in the OF and putting Guillen at DH. He needs to go to AAA and prove he can hit worth a damn at all. (he never did for Atlanta)

No excuses now, Kila needs to be up and playing the rest of the year. Guillen's slow ass is gonna be painful to watch in right every day though.

I think Kila ****ed DM's wife for him not to be up yet. He is going to be the next Ryan Shealy. Wasted away in the minors.

This is all win. No doubt aout it. We just traded shit for something decent. Can't remember the last time we've been on the good side of a trade this bad.

Ned Yost is no longer the interim manager. He has been signed through the 2012 season.

That's another win. I like Nedsy.

apparently Tim Collins (all 5'7" of him, nickname "Tiny Tim") is performing his magic with his curveball. Baseball America rated him as having the best curveball in the Blue Jays organization earlier this year, before they traded him to Atlanta.

update, we are also sending cash to Atlanta. no idea how much.

LMAO.

Couldn't we have sent Guillen instead?

I'll second that, we'll eat his whole salary too....just take him

DFA his ass and be done with it.

another update: DM thinks Collins can move fast through the minor leagues<del>, and the Royals may consider trying to convert him to a starter.</del> (edit: removed false second-hand rumor)
