Guzman has lost most of his value since he moved off SS. He's now only average playing in the OF. If he was at SS, he'd be a ton more valuable.
Letting Bradley go (and check Colletti's quotes after the trade, he took full responsibility for moving him), might be the dumbest move the Dodgers have made since giving up Pedro Martinez and getting DeShields back. At least with the Piazza deal, they got good talent in return. .800+ OPS CF'ers are rare. Just like 800+OPS SS's are rare. We had 1, and a very good likliehood of the other. Now, we have none.
1st base- should be Choi/Saenz
SS- Should be Guzman
CF- Should be Bradley
LF- Should be Giles
Thats 4 positions that if the McCourts had seen the 'big picture', probably could have happened.
Compare the upside with those 4, versus whom is playing those positions now.

I'm not saying Bradley is as good as Pedro.
I'm just saying that the established talent going out, and whatever talent coming in has the makings of the worst trade since the Pedro/Delino deal.
And honestly, the Pedro/Delino deal was only bad in hind site. At the time, it probably looked good bc Delino was an ok 2nd basemen and Pedro just a middle reliever.
At no time have I have ever seen the Dodgers trade 2 young, productive MLB'ers for a marginal minor league talent. It was just a terrible move.
At least I said Bradley wasn't as good as Pedro.....
