Leftovers are good at Thanksgiving time. They are not good when you are trying to build a major league roster.
I wasn't able to watch most of the Angels game last night, or visit the forum thread on the game. I did, however, manage catch a comment in the thread at one point (from MH252525), that went something like "how much of this team was built on pieces from teams that no one else else wanted, so Arte was in because they were cheap."
I'm paraphrasing that a bit, you you get the gist of it.
