Yeah Melvin has made a lot of good trades but that one was totally awesome. Go figure, we let Texas rent Lee for two months in exchange for an allstar closer who we could keep around for years if we want. Plus we got Mench who has actually finally proven to be valuable. After all those great trades, Melvin better win GM of the year if we continue to keep rolling.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Cordero if we make the playoffs and he finishes the year with great numbers.If he demands a 4-5 year deal at big money,i highly question if Melvin keeps him.

I would think that all would depend on how Turnbow performs in the 8th inning. If he keeps up these numbers and the teams makes it to the playoffs, then Melvin would probably look to move Turnbow back into the closers role.
