Indians Looking to Get Over the Hump; Acquire C Sal Fasano From Braves for PTBNL

[lcbj68c]

It's clear by this move that.

A) The Braves believe they are sellers
B) This extremely hurts depth behind McCann and increases the Brewers odds at a playoff berth.

Are you being serious? I assume that that should be in blue, but maybe not.

 

As for Fasano, I wasn't even aware he was still around... ahh- I see now that he was putting up a .597 OPS in Richmond. I bet Victor Martinez is miffed they traded for such a superstar to take his at-bats.

[Tedaldtada]

yea, this isn't a big deal at all. Braves are in it to win it.

[lcbj68c]

Yes, I forgot the blue. I just wanted to point out what a worthless, non news worthy trade it was.

[JoeHova]

No, I don't care about the blue, you just made such a nice case for why it was an important move that I was momentarily taken aback.

[Paulus88]

I'm assuming the trade for Sal Fasano includes his mustahce. In which case how can this be a minor move.

Is the mustache back? Steinbrenner forced its removal previously
