    I simply don’t get it..Well maybe i do…I had hoped that Duquette had come in here with the understanding he could make trades to help this club. A .250 depth IF trade? I liked the Thome acquisition, but its clear that ownership will not allow any true studs to be acquired.

      I honestly believe Angelos wouldn’t mind them trading some prospects for a star player. I just don’t think Duquette will do it because he knows better.
