Ooh! I can play this game! How about Melvin Mora for Greinke? Sure, Melvin’s contract is about up, but I bet Dayton could get an exclusive negotiating window to sign him to a three-year extension.

From a retail standpoint, I’m sure Glass knows what he’s doing: Put junk on the shelves, sell high for in-demand items (Greinke) and keep the salary percent down while maintaining that “We’re poor old country boys just running a store”.

Trust the process.

@Wooden and Yamen
I am, first and foremost, a baseball fan. “Team fandom” is far down the list. 
I was in no way making fun of the Royals (I live in MO and was actually hoping the Royals would put something together this year.) nor claiming any kind of superiority. It would be much more interesting if everyone were fielding really competitive teams.
I was offering my sincere sympathy. I understand how frustrating it is to have a less than stellar GM because the Mets do have Minaya….and Minaya did just recently sign Francoeur.
I can still hope that Moore wants him….and who wouldn’t want Zack?
BTW Helen Keller vs. Stevie Wonder in a tennis match is a great analogy.

The Rabbit - If only Minaya were a thorn in the Mets’ hide. Washington is *still* reeling from the damage he did to the farm system from ‘02 to ‘04. “Raped” might not be a harsh enough word.

Bradley for Guillen?  Oh, no no no, I don’t think so.

If Moore could pull that one off, it would (A) cause me to re-evaluate Moore, and (B) toss Jim Hendry into the team photo for dumbest GMs ever.
