Quote from AA... not a really positive statement on either player.

Snider is out of options (end of the season)... hopefully this guy is moved as I bet he will be a really good player with a team that shows just a little confidence in the player.....

"When you look at the numbers and the performances to date they both haven't done all that well in the last week or so," said Anthopoulos. "Even in the month of July they both have comparable numbers.


"Eric Thames is probably a little bit ahead of (Snider) in July, but on the season, overall, Eric's played a little bit better than Travis."
