Smyly headed to Tampa, and Jackson is going to Seattle.

I think that they must be counting on Dirks coming back if that's the case. Who plays center field for us now? Donny Kelly? Hunter isn't a good defender any more. JD really shouldn't be there.

I really wish we had kept Smyly and moved him to the pen, and sent our Robbie Ray instead, if that was an option. Kill two birds with one stone-upgrade the starting rotation and get a reliable lefty into the pen. Smyly was a great reliever, I felt like he had steel in his veins.

Yeah, I gotta believe the plan is for Rajai Davis to move to center with Dirks in left.

I love both Smyly and Jackson, but it's a move you have to make at that.....cost.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

Go arbitrary assortment of athletes! Beat the other arbitrary assortment of athletes or my mood will suffer!

Absolutely, especially when all indications are that Scherzer won't be back.
