We will rue the day we gave up on Alberto Alberquerque
Uh, not really.
Jeff Baker, the Rockie backup corner infielder, who is hitting even worse than any of the Cubs, is now all ours.
This is curious, considering we now have four first-basemen on the 25 man roster (the team has not as of yet revealed who will be going down - it better not be Blanco). Also curious since we will probably get ARam back on Monday.
Nope, THIS is not the trade that will bring me back into the fold of Kool-Aid drinking zealots. But I don't see how it can hurt, either, Alberto Alberquerque be damned.
Update: Ryan Freel just got DFA'd to make room for Baker. Works for me! -AJ
DeRosa Lite
Bakers stats in 561 major league stats - .257, 22, 88, 7. Has played 1st, 3rd, 2nd, LF and RF. Coming off of a sprained left hand. Could be (?) another DeRosa.

That's the most important thing, to me at least.
Bench Aaron Miles
It is a shame Hendry did not throw Miles into the deal.
Aaron Miles for bukkit-o-warm spit?
works for me. Bukkit-o-warm spit could be useful to throw on the Brewers in case we get in a beanball war. That's more I can say for Miles.
