I wonder what the fans reaction is to this trade. I like it. Fox is a good hitter, but he has no real position in the field where he is not a liability. If he were a potential home run champion, that might be a risk worth taking, but realistically he had no future with the Cubs. In the AL, he might get a chance to play more often. Miles, of course, was a Jim Hendry special, a complete disaster, and, oddly enough, yet another second baseman. Again, it is good to see the club recognizing past errors. Now, if only they could get rid of Soriano and Bradley, they would be on their way.
As for the acquisitions, Gray, the reliever who has some big league experience, throws hard and pitched reasonably well for the A's last season. Spencer seems like a solid prospect at first base or in the outfield. He's a big guy with a lot of power who has had some decent numbers in A ball. Moria, another pitcher, apparently throws hard, but is a long ways off.
What do you think?
