Kenny Williams: Good GM?

Who else loves the off-season?
To open up the off-season, Kenny Williams made a move for a third baseman. Mark Teahen was acquired from Kansas City for Chris Getz and Josh Fields. Essentially, Williams moved a replacement level second baseman and a 28 year-old no glove, no bat clogger for a player from the Royals. Unfortunately, that guy is Mark Teahen.

Tigers Acquire Aubrey Huff, Meh.
Look out for those Tigers! Now with Aubrey Huff, the Tigers might win no more games than they would have before! The Detroit Tigers just traded righty pitching prospect Brett Jacobson to the Baltimore Orioles for Aubrey Huff. Jacobson was listed as the 10th best prospect in the Tigers system, entering this season, and is at Class-A Frederick with a 1-3 record with six saves and a 3.74 ERA in 35 games.
Huff is having a weak offensive season at .253/.321/.405. Huff has a career wOBA .347, slightly above average, but this season it’s at .307. His walk rate has stayed the same, while his strikeout rate has gone up to 17.2%. That being said, Huff, if he plays to his career averages from now until the end of the season, could be a decent addition to the Tigers lineup.
