TB/LA Trade

A few thoughts:

TB did well to land two previously well-thought-of pitching prospects for a 31-year-old journeyman and 2007 free-agent-to-be. Conversley, why did LA trade for two middle relievers.

The closing role in TB in now an open competition. Orvella would be the favorite, but I would watch to see what the new manager does this spring. Who does he pitch in the third and fourth inning at the begining and who is finishing at the end of Spring training.

Does LA's acquistion of Baez signal that Gagne is not going to be ready?
