Epic Drop: Top 11 Things You Can Infer From Milton Bradley's NY Times All-Star Blog

Your link is here, and I'd be chattier, but I'm on a train and just heard that Rich Harden was sold to the Cubs for 40 cents on the dollar. You have to love being a fan of an MLB- franchise. Time to go drink.

Updating... the package is Sean Gallagher, Matt Murton, Eric Patterson and a minor leaguer, and the A's also give up useful arm Chad Gaudin, just to make sure that the back end of the rotation will be a mess later in the year. So if you want to drink the green and gold Kool-Aid, you've got some people with tools, and Murton looks like a better stick than most of their bad outfield options, and it would be nice to have any kind of plus offense...

But I'm sorry, I'm not buying what they are selling. Harden may be a massive injury risk, but when he pitches, he makes the A's a near championship level team. None of the guys that they got back do that. All they do is give them not terrible players who are farther away from arbitration and an actual payday. Whoop De Damn Do.
