We saved $6M. Great. There's a $2M buyout at the end of Silva's contract (I'm assuming we're not going to pick up his option). So we're saving $4M. Hendry's just going to spend that $4M on Scotty Pods. What's the fucking point? Silva is either going to get a fake injury, sit on the bench, or suck total ass every five days.

There's no silver lining to this trade. None.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The 6 mil savings includes the buy out. I am glad Bradly is gone. He played more than his career average games, and his OPS was not that far off his career, yet he was a bust production wise - not just personality wise. I think he is bad for the clubhouse, not because he is an asshole, but because his production is less than his numbers.

Just like the real world. We don't mind an asshole that does his job. We don't like the asshole that makes it look like he does his job, while we pick up the slack.
