I didn't like jimenez, but i don't like this move at all, it doesn't make sense to me, because jimenez is better than luis lopez who will now be with the big club, and they still have to pay for D'angelo's contract. this stuns me. i wouldve been perfectly happy with a trade, but paying his contract just to leave? im not sure he was that bad.

he is on the trading block.. if he doesnt get a trade offer. THEN we pay his contract.... we dot have to yet. and lopez wont be starting.. your replacing an overpriced underacheiver "starter" with a underpaid "potentialed" rookie to get a chance, .... but it would suck to have to pay him off, but its less than 3 mil, dunn gets paid more than that for each called strike 3 he takes.
