It's on Jim Bowden's twitter.  "Through either free agency or trade."
POTD nominee: Josh Willingham.
b-ref   fangraphs   mlb video (starts with 3-run crushed ball off Beavan that proves he can get it out of Safeco, at least)
OPS+: 121, 115, 117, 127, 129, 121
RC/27: 6.3. 6.2, 6.2, 6.4, 6.8, 5.7
.260/.360/.475 like clockwork for 6 seasons.
Isn't he already what you hope Casper Wells might have a 30% chance of becoming? but with a much better eye?
Actually, look at his minor-league stats, with the .415 OBP.  Maybe he's a right-handed Carp.  A guy who traded the minor-league walks for major-league dingers.
Looks like the only reason he's not better known is that he's played on nothing but mediocre teams that no one cared about.
