That Abreu trade to the Yanks shouldn't go down as 1 of the worst in my opinion. It's a shame Lidle passed away though. Henry could still turn out to be J-Roll's replacement in a few years. Matt Smith should be the top lefty in the bullpen. Sanchez and Monasterios are 2 unknowns.

o can't forget about the METS trading Melvin Mora to the O's for Mike Bordick
