      That's good to hear. There probably getting something of Value due to the fact they are probably covering more than half of the 4.7 Mil left on his deal.

      Good riddance.

        Plus, it gets one of our ****ty *** outfielders out of the lineup.
        He's definitely a decent/good player. He'll just never get any credit because of what he was supposed to be, and how much he was paid. I mean as a cubs fan I used to think "man this guy sucks" but when I rationally took a step back and looked at his numbers I realized he wasn't that bad of a player.

              Any prospect Guru's in here? those guys any good?

              Wish the best of luck to Fukodome in CLE.

                  Not sure how long that era is gonna last lol

                  Fukudome can play any of the OF positions pretty well, so he can plug in where needed.

                    Melky Cabrera's out of the Royals lineup: is it a day off?
                    Prob, but I think they're more likely to trade him than Francoeur.

                      Abreu and Smith are both fringe players. I'd be surprised if either made any impact in the MLB.

                      He'll go in Center. Sizemore isn't that good and is hurt...probably forever.

                      Edit: I'd like to see them follow this up with Ludwick.

                        Yeah, they'll probably have a short leash on Colvin.

                            I wanna add this that I found on those two:

                            "Abreu, 21, is hitting .244/.294/.429 in 367 plate appearances in his second stint at High-A. Prior to the 2010 season, Baseball America ranked him 23rd among Indians prospects, describing him as a player who has offensive tools but 'remains raw at the plate.' Smith, 25, has a 4.50 ERA, 9.0 K/9, 3.9 BB/9, and 0.8 HR/9 in 46 Triple-A relief innings, his second stint at the level."

                            EDIT: More, first on Abreu:

                            "Abreu was once considered a pretty exciting prospect, but is batting just .244/.294/.429 with 12 homers, 35 RBI and 19 stolen bases this season in his second season with High-A Kingston. The good news is that he's still only 21 years old, but he's unlikely to reach the majors."'

                            On Smith:

                            "Smith, 25, has a 4.50 ERA and 46/20 K/BB ratio over 46 innings with Triple-A Columbus this season. He was moved to the bullpen in 2009 and has a decent chance to make it as a middle reliever in the big leagues."

                              There's been little substantial dialogue between the Phillies and Padres about Heath Bell:

                                So basically, neither of them are making the big leagues. With a 4.50 ERA in AAA, Smith isn't going to see any substantial big league time.

                                Oh well. Maybe Abreu can suprise some people and do something seeing he is only 21, but probably not.

                                Just glad to have got rid of one of the few cancers left on the team.
