Mike Sweeney

I fell out of my bed last night around 2:00.

Now I know why.

"Sweeney, the Kansas City Royals first baseman, reportedly has cleared waivers and still could be dealt this season, but not at the price the Angels were asked to pay before the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline. According to the source, the Angels would have had to deal pitcher Ervin Santana, first baseman Casey Kotchman and a middle infield prospect, an area in which the Angels are well-stocked with Alberto Callaspo, Erick Aybar, Howie Kendrick and Brandon Wood"

I'd think Santana or Kothcman or Kendrick or Wood or Aybar would be a great deal for the Royals.

There have been no indicators that Stoneman would act so stupidly. Who do the Royals think runs the Angels? Allan Baird?
