Nothing to see here
TV not so much but in person is very fun, I had a buddy who convinced one of the ticket agents (gate ticket checkers) his dad bought a row of season tickets the Thrashers so every time we went we sat 3rd row. It also probably had a lot to do with no many people being there but we never had a bad seat unless the red Wings were in town. Those games always sold out and we had to sit in our actual seats

Yep. Per cbssports:
The trade fills a need for both teams. The A's lost closer Grant Balfour to free agency while the O's have a long-standing hole at second base due to Brian Roberts' continued injury problems. Baltimore likely views Weeks as a change of scenery player.

Pierzynski to the Red Sox, most likely a 1 year deal.

I know he had 9 blown saves but I figured he was worth a little more than weeks.

I don't know how I feel about this. I hope they are freeing up $$ for another move. Probably a good sign that Napoli will be back.

It's more that they didn't want to commit to Salty for multiple years with Vazuez waiting in the wings. Platoon Ross and AJ, probably 50-60 for Ross and around 100 for AJ.

Weeks is garbage, Billy Beane pulled a Jedi mind trick on your GM

Dump Fister and sign an overpriced closer? Dumb.

Snowden is a hero.
It kinda seems like a salary dump to me unless they have some prospects waiting to be part of the rotation. The prospect they got is already number 3 in Detroit's system. He's a "low ceiling" guy that's supposed to be a back of the rotation type starter. It's kinda an odd deal for Detroit. We're talking about he same team that freaked out over an injury and signed a 200 million dollar contract. This is one of those deals that you have to wait a while to judge IMO.
