    Heath Bell to Arizona, Chris Young to Oakland in three-team trade

    D-backs trade CF Young, acquire Bell, Pennington - Yahoo! Sports

    You gotta love Kevin Towers. A center fielder with 20/20 talent isn't worth $8 million, but a reliever - who at best will be your 7th inning guy - is worth picking up $13 million of the remainder of his contract.

    And a KT deal wouldn't be complete without him acquiring a utility infielder. LOL

    Then again I shouldn't be considering AZ and Oakland are involved

    This isn't the first time Kevin Towers traded for Heath Bell after he had a shitty season.

    Was hoping the Reds might go for Young to replace Drew Stubbs in CF For us .

    I'd be happy with Jonny Gomes in left field instead of the collection of petrified dog shit we've had out there in Juan Rivera, Bobby Abreu, Tony Gwynn Jr, Marcus Thames, and so on.
