Trading Crap for Crap

So the Marlins and Rockies pulled off the trade of the season on Sunday, finally pulling these two teams together who have been on very divergent paths since they both came into the league together in 1992.

The Marlins sent stud closer Jorge Julio (see: two blown saves against the pitiful Nationals this season) to Colorado. In return, they get submarining Korean ace Byung-Hyun Kim (who seems to cause something resembling Tourette's Syndrome to appear when his name is mentioned around diehard Red Sox fans).

I'm certain this trade will be the start of both teams' eventual ascension to the tops of their respective divisions.

Don't forget about Byung-Hyun Kim's fuck ups with the D-backs in the World Series against the Yankees. But yeah, trading one unreliable reliever for another kind of ends up as a wash.

Speaking of unreliable relievers, I think the O's will trade Chris Ray for Chad Cordero anytime you want.

DONE. Please, please, please. We'll put Rauch in at closer and use Chris Ray as set-up man.

It was bad enough when Chris Ray was just a streaky (I'm being charitable) pitcher, but when he loses games with his fielding, it might be time to go.

Although Danys Baez should be gone first.
