You're a fucking tool. I love how that's your first post on this board today. You're nothing more than a troll.

Wilson to play 1st, Phillips bench, Giambi DH, until Sheff/Matsui back.

Cashman has cash. I'm actually disappointed that Cashman can't assemble a better roster for $210 million.

Though, if the Red Sox don't make a move, kind of right.

What has Theo done to improve the team this trade deadline? NOTHING. Meanwhile Cashman takes out 2 problems with one move and gets a decent 1st baseman for nothing but a guy going to get cut.

Can't be a troll if you say rationale things.

Money can't stop injuries and age.

I guess they were bad contracts then.

Please, your SOLE purpose in coming here and saying that was to antagonize us. You could have worded the exact same thought in a different way and it wouldn't have been antagonizing. Notice how I never said you were wrong, I was just critical of how you delivered your message.

On the bright side. Wilson makes Wily Mo Pena look like Albert Pujols.

There we go.

Theo acquired Ted Williams from Alcor, in exchange that he'd endorse it.

The head of Ted Williams was removed and placed in a robotic body. The Willot will proceed to hit 1.000.

Well as I said when discussing the possibility of this move a few days back in the Yankee Thread (where I also discussed the Abreu trade. Both of these make me look pretty good

), I really like Craig Wilson. Not only for his offensive ability, but also for his defensive versatility. I stressed all throughout the offseason the importance of a third player capable of catching; now we have one. He can play first, the outfield, and in an extreme emergency can play third. He is obviously a defensive downgrade over Andy Phillips, who Michael Kay predicts will be optioned down to Columbus.

When it comes to this deal, it really was extremely unnecessary. The only thing that stops me from getting upset about it is that I, personally, like Wilson a lot and suggested we get him all offseason and into the regular season.

He's a massive upgrade over Phillips. Just like Abreu is a massive upgrade over Williams/Cabrera. Kudos to Cashman. Maybe he should have traded Chacon for Zach Duke though.
