I looked at the roster. They have Crisp in Center, who seems to me to be a good young CF. Jones and Ichiro both have awesome numbers in Right, which will translate into better fielding everyday starters in Left than a heckuva lot of guys who are designated at that position.
Ichiro gives them a legit leadoff guy and is a name that will be atttractive to a potential team purchaser.
Koskie isn't exactly Eric Chavez, but he's not chopped liver and Mora has had just about two really good seasons, but he's 32. I wouldn't have given a whole lot more for him!

I might or might not have done the trade, but I hardly think it's remarkable.

I think the bottom line is that we need the Rookie list posted. We're all getting bored and testy. By the way, Tim, if you think Mora is so hot, make the Orange County Suns a deal they can't refuse. Ken is loaded at 3b now.
