Jesus H. Christ...Kevin Towers has absolutely destroyed any chance for this team. Upton AND Chris Johnson for Martin Prado? Really?


And Prado is eligible for free agency after this year? :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

Never have I been happier to be leaving town, Jon. When the effin' Coyotes are the most stable franchise in the valley, you KNOW things have gone topsy turvy. :ohno: :ohno:

Not sure if they can compete with Josh Hamilton and the Angels. Oakland may be good too.

That's the type of boneheaded trade that the Phillies would have made in the Ed Wade era.

And just going to make the Phils road to beat the Nats & Braves that much tougher.

Yup.

This is the sort of trade you make when you've been eliminated from the playoff race. What the heck is he doing making it NOW?!? The off season is the time to build up for the season, NOT quit.

:ohno:

Yeah. Who is playing left and right. They're three deep at center.

Not a bad position to be in. Center is traditionally the best fielding position and they don't have Delmon Young playing one of the corners.

Justin Upton is a right fielder.

Just curious, who are the three players you are talking about?

If they are the two Uptons and Heyward, only one of those is a CF.

BJ Upton is the CF, Heyward will play right, and Justin in left. It's not that hard to figure out. :coffee:

Kevin Towers trading a proven player for a handful of prospects? Yeah we don't miss him here in SD.

To his credit a lot of his dumpster diving deals for pitchers worked our while he was here in SD. But as far as position players goes he always made trades that never panned out.
