Getting to Second Base

I was working on a comparison between the money coming off the books from our now departed players, and the raises due to our current players and I noticed that we cut Adam Kennedy.
This is an odd move to me, on the field he would have been fine, we were going to be rid of him at the end of the season anyway.

On the other hand, I wanted them to cut him loose early last year. But…
Arizona had an interest in him back in Dec, but wanted us to eat some of his contract, and we didn’t want to; so now we get nothing.

This is the first move by Mo that I am not sold on, why now? TLR must have pushed for getting AK out asap back at the end of last season, and he wanted to be sent out in the first place.
I like the idea of giving Skip a look at 2B as has been reported, I really like that idea and hope it works. It does look like our minor league depth could keep us stable here (I prefer Barden if the team stays as is) but a trade for a starter or FA back-up would make sense. It will be interesting to see what they do.

I trust TLR about the club house and if wanted him gone, then he should be gone. Rolen departing before last season wasn’t missed, and I think his bitching would have stalled the team’s forward progress and growth.

Spring is all most here.
