That sounds hot, and also like he's a total badass. I like the idea of Maddux taking the mount. That sounds hot, and also like he’s a total badass.

I see them as clear 7/31 winners. Lugo won't lose his job when Kent comes back. Kent has played 1st before, and he'll play it now. He's a terrible 2nd baseman who still has a special bat. This trade is an obvious sign that Nomar isn't coming back anytime soon. Lugo is one of the more underrated explosive offensive talents in the game, and I think they paid less than they should have, considering their stockpile of young OFs. Weaker teams would have packed it in with such a loss. (Especially considering that they are in the NL west cellar.) They easily could have started retooling for the next 3 years, but the addition of Maddux, Lugo and Betimit give thiem a legit change to take this horrendous division. (only 5 games back I believe.)
