The deal should help us both. I pick up some RH OBA in one of the tOP 4 spots(Bay is incredibly versatile) more speed to keep out of rallykilling DP's. Players that get injured less and a whole bunch of Cap options I didn't have previously. Utley, altho dropping a point in range, replaces Griffey's power from BOTH sides. And altho, a 3R, has a ton of Power against the leftside and covers 2 positions. Now I can move Branyan over to 1B vs the right side, Mack to 3B and have no need for another LF.
All I am looking for is a RH RF to both DH vs the right side and play RF vs the leftside.
2 players I really liked, who will really help Jeep are Conine and Iguchi. Well suited for both his Park and Division. While Conine and Griffey bring a ton of firepower with enuf natural HRs from each side to boost his HR totals.
I don't know why I couldn't get quality starts out of Zito, but in a Pitchers Park like Jacobs, the walks will not hurt as much. Definitely a good trade both ways. Maybe I'll fare a little better on the road. :wink:
