June 10, 200521 yr Nationals claim Ryan Drese off Waivers and trade Tomo Ohka to the Brewers for Junior Spivey.
June 10, 200521 yr meh on the Spivey-Ohka trade for both teams. It does allow Milwaukee to call up Rickie Weeks though.
June 10, 200521 yr It's Jim Bowden, so the moves will turn out bad. That guy has been snakebitten as a GM....
June 10, 200521 yr I don't get it. Drese get's shelled by The Phillies and is fired the next day. That warrants a signing by THe Phil's division rival?

June 10, 200521 yr It does allow Milwaukee to call up Rickie Weeks though. 803741[/snapback] bingo 803752[/snapback] Now they gotta find the right deal to get something for Overbay to clear the way for Mr. Fielder....

June 10, 200521 yr The Brewers are a team that will be a major factor in that division in a couple of years. Kinda like some predicted a while back. This year they are winning ahead of schedule. They will only get better.
June 10, 200521 yr It's Jim Bowden, so the moves will turn out bad. That guy has been snakebitten as a GM.... 803749[/snapback] They turn out bad because they're often bad players or unnecessary pieces of a team. I like the Spivey trade. Trade from a point of strength (backend starters) for a position of weakness (secondbase). If he plays well, maybe Vidro will move to 3B. Drese will do horrible. Any groundball pitcher would do horrible in front of the Nats' infield defense.
June 11, 200521 yr Buster Olney on BBTN says Overbay is still cheap and with Fielder having some troubles in AAA that he probably won't be moved until next year.

June 13, 200521 yr Well today was the first time this trade paid off for the Nationals since Junior hit a 2-R HR in the 3-2 win. Time for the Marlins to make some moves that pay off.
