I'm gonna go out on a limb here but could it be that AA has acquired another controllable asset? The guy is a asset machine. Brilliant.

Catching depth for the minors because we're missing d'Arnaud, Jiminez, and Gomes has to back up Mathis with Arencibia out. Nothing more than that.

I never understood why some people have to be such jackasses with their posts. Why don't you keep your negative sarcasm and comments to yourself?

Thanks Dagger. For a casual baseball fan, posts such as yours help me understand some of these transactions, not always as obvious to everyone.

The name alone makes this a good move. Results are irrelevant.

I'm assuming if it was really that "obvious" to you that this was an acquisiton for farm system depth, that you wouldn't have felt the need to create a new thread about it... dbad.

Well, you can add that to the list of awesome names AA has collected in his tenure. I remember there being a legitimate thread on signing Merkin Valdez solely based on the fact that his name was Merkin :lol:
