According to...well, a multitude of sources, but let's just say...according to ESPN, the Braves are going to deal Joey Devine to the Oakland A's for Mark Kotsay and $5.325 million of the $8 million Kotsay is owed next year.
Now, here's the thing.
Mark Kotsay isn't that bad. He's not that good, but he's not that bad. He's so-so. In a Family Guy nutshell, Kotsay is best compared to purgatory. He could put some league average numbers, lately he hasn't. He used to be a solid defender, lately he hasn't been.
Kotsay is not wanted by other teams. Why would they bother, ya know? Most teams have center fielders by now.
So why the, and forgive me for saying, why the fuck would the Braves trade Joey Devine for Mark Kotsay?
Oh, the money yes. And maybe the Braves think Devine won't be ready to a major league contributor this season and he's out of options. But still...that's pretty weak reasoning.
Thanks Atlanta.
Now I gotta wish Jordan Schaffer gets good real quick.
