TransAction Thursday

The Not So Frugal Flowers burn another dollar trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Some might say they only managed a lightning bug. Keep El Duque away from open flames (and your active lineup). (Right-handed specialist Vicente Padilla was dropped to accommodate Mr. Duque. (His specialty? Being dropped.))

My thoughts on this acquisition?

You know what they say: Don’t fall in love with a pitching prospect at the CoBacabana. Especially don’t do so to the tune of $11, which is the largest FAAB sum to-date in DCBA Year 2007. That amount will get you some good play at a jukebox, but will Phil Hughes be up to stay, as Yankee nation turns its hopeful eyes to him? The Jackanapes pray he doesn’t go back to Rockville but rather begins the begin. (Left-handed specialist Kei Igawa was dropped to accommodate Mr. Hughes. (His specialty? Sucking.))
