Ty Wigginton traded for Dan Wheeler
According to Rotoworld.com. I hope no one is writing this as I am making the post. Personally I think this is just what the Rays needed, and I applaud them on the trade, and I like him more than Scott Proctor. Not too bad from the Astros point of view either. Will Wheeler become the closer in TB?

Wandy + Loretta is totally not worth Gomez, and I can't believe you don't see it! hahahaha
"due"

That is not the proper use of that saying
In this case, we have an expected level of performance, a non-random level of ability. Choose whatever you want FIP, peripherals, or even career ERA, Sosa is not a 3.80 ERA pitcher. These past starts have gotten him closer to hit expected value, but if you disregard 2005 as an outlier, your looking at more regression in store.
Bravesin07 isn't betting the due, he is betting the smart odds
only after
Longoria should be up in September

No surprise...
Given the piss poor way management has dealt with tradable players and their budget, I'm afraid with the current front office that this team is going to be terrible for a long long time.
best player under 30
Actually the answer is pence, but yeah, their front office sucks and it might be a while before they are anything.

tampa's bullpen
Trade Reyes
What's irritating...
Hell, I'd loved to have taken Dukes off their hands!
Instead, we get Wiggy, what a load of crap. Wheeler was one of the few marketable players we have.
Yeah, we have Pence, Oswalt, and then a bunch of crap.
Borderline AAAA
irrelevant rant
josh paul seems ok behind the plate.
for all the talk about this club needing pitching, why doesn't management put out a team that can field? a complete and utter joke. I feel like i'm watching Vero Beach rather than Tample Bay.
and, by the way, the poor D-Rays pitchers, their stats should all have an asterisk stating that their ERAs would be half as much as they actually are if they had major leaguers behind them.
i guess i'm in the minority
While Wigginton isn't anything special, he does upgrade at 3rd for them in 2008. They can find someone to split time with Lamb in the OF (or give Lamb the RF job), have Berkman at first, give Burke a look at 2nd (perhaps add a veteran to compete, but veteran 2nd baseman can be found). Add in Pence/Lee, and the offense looks improved, and you can spend your assets (cash or talent) to focus on upgrading the pitching. It gives them an outside chance at competing in the NL next year ... and yet, it doesn't really harm any long term plans either if it doesn't work.
agreed
A guy that can play 2B, 3B, 1B, and OF that hits around 20-25 homers in less than a full season with an 800 OPS is pretty solid. He's 29 years old and a great clubhouse guy that plays any position you ask him.
Chopped liver he's not.
+1 re Wiggy

Mike Lamb
I would love him on Atlanta
Update
Leaves me scratching my head, as I'd think there would still be some trade value left in Morgan, but perhaps not.
