You want a deal that makes way too much sense?
Milwaukee Gets: RP Rafael Soriano, 2B Kelly Johnson, LF Jeff Francoeur, RP Joey Devine
Atlanta Gets: SP Ben Sheets, CF Billy Hall, 3B Mat Gamel
The Brewers would get a closer in Soriano, an upgrade in Left Field in Francoeur, a solid 2B in Kelly Johnson to move Weeks to CF, and a solid power arm in Joey Devine (but we would take a prospect in the 11-15 range, I know Devine is #9-#10).
The Braves would get an ace in Ben Sheets (Sheets, Smoltz, Hudson, and Chuck James as a top 4?) Not to mention a pretty decent CF in Bill Hall, and Mat Gamel is 0.9 Ryan Braun.
Of course, you can nitpick if you must. Ah well.
Not a fan of that deal guy. The Brewers missed the playoffs in part because Ben Sheets missed alot of time. I can’t imagine if he was just gone. The Brewers would become the post-A-Rod Rangers…
