I'll miss Fleitas, but he wasn't going to help my team soon anyway, and even if he did fill out in 2 years or quicker, he'd still be a backup with lousy defense.

This gets Weeks' contract off the books, saves me a little money, and I got some low-risk relievers too. And a guy that leads the NL in RBIs, albeit hitting in coors.

I like it for what it is.
