If Boni is going to be disgruntled, move him. Don't need that kind of attitude in the clubhouse. Be nice if we could deal him for something that might help us a year or two down the road.

Smells like a financial move covered up by the "We did it with Emilio's best interest in mind" excuse.

If he gets on with another team and is a utility guy it will wreak of that

This just highlights the troubles of being a small market team with a tight budget. We will have years with a good amount of talent, but lack the sufficient amount of depth to compete over the course of a 162 game season. It's utterly depressing. |

Exactly, there are a lot of guys that are pissed they aren't starting.....good organizations don't dump talent that makes their team better just because a guy isn't thrilled about playing time. He'd get plenty of time considering he can play damn near every position on the field. One injury, that is inevitable in a long season, puts him in the starting lineup.

Yeah the depth is def hurt by this move and the timing just is horrible as well.
Hilarious that some of us thought maybe we'd have a chance at Santana. Same as it ever was. |

I don't know if I particularly like this move because I liked Boni. It hurts our depth, but at least Infante can still play pretty much all of the same positions if needed. In theory, we should be able to replace a utility guy though. |
