Why Angel fans should be relatively unoffended by the Davids: Murphy and DeJesus

Happy might be too strong a word, but you know, they're guys who play baseball. Who are now on the Angels.

The Angels completed two more trades today, sending minor league shortstop Eric Stamets to the Indians for outfielder/designated hitter David Murphy and getting outfielder David DeJesus for minor league pitcher Eduar "The Missing 'D' is for David" Lopez. What should we think? I WILL TELL YOU.

1. David Murphy is an above average hitter. He'll take a walk every now and again, he'll hit a homerun somewhat less often, but not so infrequently that you'll gape in surprise when he does it, and he hits right-handers fairly well (.
