Remember when the Als were good and they would keep finding players that played at a high level? I'm beginning to get the feeling Popp was either very, very lucky or that he had scouts working under him that were propping him up. This trade is what you get from a GM that can't unearth talent. All his moves in Toronto have been via free agency or trade. Anyone can write a checks to guys like Walker and Rainey. He's signed Franklin last year, tried to overpay Bo, and now trades for a guy that's a hit away from ending his career. Horrible GM.
