i'm genuinely surprised we traded kinsler. all of the armchair GMs here have been increasingly calling for him to be moved (specifically to boston, too - nice call), but i can't remember too many times in the past when a player we picked up in the winter was traded during that season.
i'm encouraged that eppler and company are making moves that need to be made. small steps are fine with me . . . now it's time to see valbuena get his pink slip.
i hope they bring up ward but i'm preparing that it'll be cowart at third and fletcher will move to second. with the way the kids are playing on the farm, i see this as cowart's last shot with the team.
