Johnson is better than Smoltz? If you wanted Johnson, I would have gladly substitued him for Smoltz in my trade offers to you. No knock on Johnson. He's been very reliable for me, but Smoltz hasn't lost a game since TM traded him to me 6 weeks ago, and has a much better track record. If the Braves trade him. he'll be even more valuable.

Youkilis is about to be my starting 1B, and his numbers are better than Cuddyer and Helton. I'm about to give up on Helton. The only reason I offered him to you was for Dunn.

Johjima was a "throw in". TM was going to waive him, so he was included to be my back-up. This trade was strictly for Dye. Posada is now my starting catcher. He only has 12 less points than Hernandez.

I needed another in RF, and Dye's 381 points will fit very nicely.
