What? They've picked up:
Jay Payton (HUGE upgrade over Spaz Byrnes, good power, clutch hitter)
Joe Kennedy (lefty long-man, gives them depth in the rotation if someone gets injured)
Jay Witasick (excellent setup man, along with Calero and Duchscherer they now have best RH setup in the league)
They've gotten rid of:
Spaz Byrnes (fast and good pop but stupidest player in MLB and defensive liability)
Chad Bradford (kills righties but they already have a Roogy and he si always on the DL)
Dan Johnson and Huston Street were not on the opening day roster; Johnson is leading the team in hitting and is 10000x better than Hatteberg and Street is the Rookie of the Year.
Zito is having his best year since 2002 (Cy Young). The stats are deceiving, he had one awful month but has been one of the top 5 starters in MLB the last 2 months.
Kotsay is good, yes, but the offense is anchored by Crosby Chavez and Kendall
Again, what?
