To me, this means that Williams has already pretty much given up on 2007 and
is looking at 2008 and beyond.  Otherwise, why would he trade both Garcia
and McCarthy?  Moving Garcia made sense as long as he was viewed as a
high-mileage guy that was going to have to yield to someone younger.  Now
the "someone younger" is still a year away.

On another front, I have some interesting news to report.  A month or so
ago, Jazzy was doing a school project on immigration and family history.  In
the course of research, we found out that my my great grandmother Greenberg
was supposedly related to Hank Greenberg.  Of course, this is the sort of
uncorroborated rumor that is easily cooked up by any of the thousands of
families with a Greenberg somewhere in the family tree.  However, I will
view it as true until I see proof to the contrary, and I will sieze every
opportunity to refer to him as "Uncle Hank."  (Does this get me honorary MOT
status?)

Kenny, like certain USML owners, is a visionary.  Buerhle is a FA after '07
and no way he remains a Sock.  Since he's the only lefty in rotation, Danks
will hopefully slip into that role in '08.  He's stockpiling arms for future
moves. The man won a WS, so he still earns my benefit of doubt. Let's wait
and see.

If he traded one of the other starters it might be DUMP vs COPS.  McCarthy
should still be a DUMP favorite.  No no no.  Kenny has read too much of his
own press.  Silly silly silly.

This is a real world DUMP vs. COPS battle.

Kenny Williams, apparently a DUMP sympathizer, was quoted in the Trib as
saying "he was 'bowled over' by an offer that included Danks, a 21-year-old
left-hander whom Baseball America ranks as the Rangers' top prospect." 

Texas GM Jon Daniels, apparently a COPS advocate, said: "I don't have any
doubts about John [Dank]'s ability. But until you do it in the major
leagues, there is always some uncertainty."

I can't wait to see how this one turns out!!

Why is Kenny Williams acting like a certain USML owner who seems to value
doing deals just for the sake of doing deals? Brad -- have you managed to
successfully impersonate Kenny Williams and pull off MLB trades? I'm out of
town for the week and haven't seen what the Chicago press is saying about
the Brandon McCarthy trade. What in the hell is going on? Can anyone explain
to me how the deal makes sense at all?
