Amazing trade, trading Ben Broussard for Shin-Soo Choo (aka Choo Choo, or Chew Baca) and a player to be named later.

Ben was having a great offensive year in a platoon role. Ben earned his year by being serious and working out. He looked in great shape this year and his offense really helped the team out.

But, Vic is our future first baseman, and with DH belonging to Pronk, there really is no way to keep Vic in the line-up every day without first base being open.

Choo Choo reminds me of Kirby Puckett in height and build, plus his apparent speed and power are also Kirby look alikes.

I pray the guy did not use steroids to get his build, he's not real tall, kind of thick, but he has speed. I really like this move and if the kid can hit, and steal bases, I think we still have a chance to get back in the wild card race.

The combination of Inglett, Sizemore and Choo could be enough to rev this team up and shake it out of it's doldrums.

Here's hoping.
