Wiggy grounds out meekly yo third a helluva lot, and doesn't walk enough. Apart from that, you'll like him.

How is his defense?


Hopefully this means Ensberg is gone. :pray:

Blockbuster deal this is. We're clearly going to be unstoppable now on our way to last place in the division!

Honestly I rather like this trade though, I don't think this guy is really worth a damn but he's better than Ensberg and Wheeler isn't much used to us. I think we could have gotten some good prospects for him but whatever.

We really should trade Lamb/Loretta, I know some teams would give up some decent prospects for them even though they're FA's after this year, and older, so our bargaining power isn't very good. Get whatever we can for them, and DEFINATELY get rid of Jennings ASAP.




On another note...................I AM FINALLY A REAL GM, WOOOOOOOT!

Decent at first. Average, better than you'd think at second. Pretty bad at third. Haven't a big enough sample size to really say about the outfield.

Wigginton doesn't move well but he's an OK defensive player all the same. You could justify him as your full time second baseman, should it come to it. He's not that good at it but his bat is good for the position.
