Well, I don't think that Villareal was ready to be made a DP, but I agree it's a poor move from the G's. The source of the problem is our salary overall. We have a ton of money tied up in players who just aren't worth their salaries (Stephens @ 106, Rogers @ 90). The G's are just trying to dump players to open up space for other maneuvers. With 3 DPs on the team already, that's more than a third of the team's budget. Makes it very difficult to afford the players that will turn into the guys we need them to be in the long run.
Sad to see Villareal go, but I hope he makes a ton of money and improves to the point he could called up to the Nats.
