This isn't a bad idea. I'd probably swap Choo for Ethier and Jimenez for Tanaka, but really it's splitting hairs at that point. They *NEED* two more high-impact additions, and Butler may or may not qualify. I tend to think he does, but there are plenty of arguments that suggest he doesn't. Butler is such a perfect fit for this club that it really needs to happen. Righty DH with plus on-base skills and plus power entering his prime would be preferable to Morales' decline years.
It will be interesting to see which direction they go. The rest of the league - and the players' agents - know JackZ is pushing all-in, and it will be very revealing to see which #2 move comes through and how it plays out.
This, right here, is where JackZ proves whether he's a Mexi-can, or a Mexi-can't -- as GMing goes.
