It's almost cruel to mess with them over this. But I won't let that stop me.
The best part is saying "Well, look at it this way, if you hadn't gotten rid of DeRosa, you wouldn't have Milton Bradley."
So much more fun to do it to people in person.

Cubs
fans? Hell, the MFing Cubs
players are livid.
Quote:
"It stinks," Cubs shortstop Ryan Theriot told MLB.com. "He's going to the Cardinals. What do you want me to say? 'It's good? I'm glad? I'm happy for him?' He's going to our division contender. I'm excited for him. I know what type of player he is and what he brings to a ballclub, so yeah, I don't want to see him in our division, much less the Cardinals. He'll help them tremendously."
Anything to add, Aramis Ramirez?
"You don't want the team you're chasing to get a player like that," Ramirez said to MLB.com.
"We all know he was a huge part of our club, on and off the field, and St. Louis is fortunate to have him over there," Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly told MLB.com. "He's going to help that team."

I still want to know who we gave up as the PTBNL. Remember, Mozeliak could've had DeRosa for Perez straight up 3 weeks ago (rumored by Miklasz and confirmed by Gammons), so that PTBNL matters a ton.
I still think Mozeliak is in way over his head, but at least he's finally looking to improve his club a little bit instead of merely building up a minor league stable of right handed relief arms.
