I could see this trade working out nicely for the upcoming year just as I could see the Morales trade working out nicely. The M's just added a potential 45 home runs from where we were last year, plus you have the Ibanez signing and the 3 run homer may be back in vogue in Seattle. The kids aren't blocked and we will have trade chips come July. These trades are geared for this year and if things break remarkably well we will have an entertaining summer. Next year the M's will be throwing out Felix, Iwakuma, Ramirez and two of the big three (who will be more seasoned and ready for the wars).
I will be surprised to see Bay make the team this year and if he does it will be on account that he has actually earned it through his play during Spring Training. I'm very optimistic about the offense next year. If Ackley can make a plateau leap, not asking too much is it, then I see the M's being in the top half of the AL in scoring.
