Guzman is at best a six-inning pitcher whose lack of focus will always outweigh his nasty stuff. He's perfect for a team with a solid bullpen who can cover those last three innings. He probably needs a change of scenery. I am of the opinion that the Orioles should keep Erickson, unless the return in a trade is simply overwhelming. Juan Gonzalez's tantrums made me wonder whether the players consider it an honor to participate or if it's just another thing they have to do.
Most players are a little more subtle about it, claiming an injury as the reason.
I guess Gonzalez didn't need the money. There are clearly teams willing to give up top prospects to get what they need. The Diamondbacks showed that just last week by giving up their best pitching prospect, Brad Penny, along with Vladimir Nunez, to get closer Matt Mantei. With Dave Dombrowski, he helped take the Marlins to a World Series title in the franchise's fifth season. Void the Albert Belle deal.
