We scored Wilson Betemit. That should many people happy.
So glad the waiting game is over.
I love it. It also appears we didn’t give up much to get him, as well. Obviously, time will only tell if that is true, but, as of today, I really like the trade.
What’s the group opinion of Inge’s fate? My guess is he’ll platoon and serve as trade fodder for a SP – Inge would probably accept a trade to get back into a starting role.
I think he’s released. DD usually doesn’t keep unhappy guys around on the bench for insurance purposes.
