I've already written about the horrors of Navarro catching, and suggested Casanova as a replacement -- since he is already on the major league roster. Well, not any more. They sent him down. Yes, he with the .600 slugging percentage will labor in Triple AAA, while Navarro, whose on base percentage and slugging percentage combined is less than Casanova's SLG, remains with the team. Who comes up for Casanova? The previously mentioned, and unimpressive, Josh Paul.
Bad enough, right? Now how about trading away Ty Wigginton, one of the hottest trading deadline properties, for Dan Wheeler? I cannot believe the best the Rays could do for a guy on pace to get about 25 HR and 80 RBI, and who plays five different positions, was swapped for a setup man having a poor season (and who failed in his attempt to unseat a struggling Brad Lidge as the Houston closer).
When will this franchise start making the right moves?
