Sun: O's swap Wolf for Fox

[McLovin]

I would not like this move. I know Lebron has a rough road ahead, but I'd rather keep him than Atkins or Viola or Montanez.

No team would claim him, knowing they would have to carry him on the 40 man for a year before seeing anything from him.

[Icterus galbula]

I'm going to celebrate this trade with two packs of Saltines and a glass of tap water.

A fabled double-packer? Now I'm definitely on board.

They say Fox is kind of a natural.

[DrungoHazewood]

So who leads off? Patterson is not coming out of the lineup. Fox will either go to the bench, or they will move Wiggy back to 2nd.

You'd be hard pressed to significantly downgrade the offense by replacing Patterson's sub-.300 OBP with anyone.

60 day DL.

[McLovin]

No, he has more like 1200 innings at first.

Well that's good then.

I'm not saying it's what should happen. But Samuel will NOT take him out of the leadoff spot.

[McLovin]

60 day DL. (Lebron)

They've got to call him up to do that. That comes with an additional salary expense, and they'll still have to sort him out in the offseason anyway.

No one will claim him.

Again, the hope is it's Atkins of course.

By the way, I think Fox has a real chance to be the new Floyd Rayford. Plays the corners, or at least can stand there, catches in a pinch, has some power, body type won't remind anyone of Brandon Fahey. He just needs an appropriate breakfast cereal-themed nickname.

I'm going with Sugar Smacks.

That sounds great to me. I think carrying a legitimate 3rd catcher would be good for Wieters - as it could allow him to DH more.

[Hank Scorpio]

Can we lobby to have his name changed to Floyd Rayford?

[PaulFolk]

I'll tell you one thing-- this has to be the first time in baseball history that two guys named after animals from the canine family have been traded for each other.

If only we could've gotten a player named Dog, Jackal, or Coyote to involve in this trade as well.

...or Honey Bear?

How about Fruit Loops?

Nickname is taken...
