What move would you have preferred? And don't say not picking up Uribe's option, because we all know that was picked up for timing purposes/so that we weren't desperate for a shortstop when we were trying to trade for one. Would you have traded Fields? Would you have traded Crede for nothing or not offered him arbitration? Would you have taken an aluminum bat to Joe's back? What else would you have done?
He should have never picked up Uribe's option, especially if he had the slightest though of possibly trading Garland for a SS. I'm still confident that Crede will be dealt prior to the start of the season, but if for some reason Fields is starting the season in AAA....well, there's going to be at least one very unhappy person.
