What Happens in Vegas...

Wow, the Winter Meetings have been exciting. A brief note about me: I work full time as an engineer, and dump posts into this blog whenever I get a chance throughout the day. There has been so much to comment on lately as well. One story that got my attention was this supposed rumor for Zack Greinke for Jeff Francouer. This news got the ire of the entire baseball world this morning. Hopefully Dayton Moore got the memo:

memo
A trade that should never be mentioned again…

I know that some of the things that are uttered in the Bellagio shouldn’t be taken with a dime of salt, still with BP is talking about this it’s still something to mention. Moore has been rumored to be smitten over Francouer, presumably during his days as a Braves scout (long before he was the Royals GM.) However coughing up a (saber-) ace for a player banished to the minors, doesn’t get on base, and foolishly turned down a long-term deal from Atlanta management… Granted I know that Greinke is going to be getting expensive soon, however any trades that start with him and the Braves need to be centered around Tommy Hanson.

Moore thankfully shot this thing down today.
