I know he is coming from the NL to the AL, but he also does have a funky delivery that will take AL hitters a while to get used to. Also, he is two years removed from being a 23 year old 22 game winner. This kid is the real deal. Plus, instant fan favorite. D-Train in D-Town...what! I will miss Inge though.

I don't think we'll see too many check swing strike threes coming out of our third baseman. My thoughts on this. First, we need to lock of Cabrera. Does anyone know his K situation past this year. Second, the bullpen needs to be shored up, and I thought DLC was going to be that guy this year. Third, this team is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. What about Inge replacing Pudge next year at catcher. I'm sure he would do it if he got to stay on the team. I mean, wouldn't you? I do feel kind of bad for inge, but…we got Miggy.

I'm a bit worried about him, but I think some of his problems stem from Joe Girardi's plain ABUSE of that pitching staff in his only year there. Anibal Sanchez and Josh Johnson both felt the effects of Girardi and had big arm injuries. -No to Miggy in LF. I don't think he could handle it. -Jon Paul Morosi says that we're now looking to move Thames, Inge and Durbin as a result of this trade. So we may not be done dealing. OUTSTANDING!

Is he regressing, or is it a mechanical issue? I truly hope it's the latter or we just got screwed. Also, I'm a little surprised this deal didn't include Inge. I have to think DD spins him into another arm (to the Brewers, now that the Rolen deal fell through?). No way we are keeping a $6 million player on the bench. I admit Willis makes me nervous.

Wowzers. Hey and we can always use Dontrelle to hit some triples! Left handed bat off the bench. hahaha I have to chuckle now when I read Bilfers first sentence to this post.

I honestly hope we find some sensible way to reward him for that.
