Adam Lind just signed a minor league deal. Nobody is trading for Thames right now, and the Brewers need an LHB 1B/PH even if Braun does play ~120 games at 1B. Thames has also been a significantly better player than Aguilar for their entire careers, including even last year when Aguilar over-achieved dramatically. Keeping Aguilar instead of Thames does not add up. If they don't want Thames, they'll keep Choi instead. I figure Thames has more trade value than Aguilar and that was the reason why I want to trade him. But if Thames can't be traded, I'm fine with keeping him on the bench as backup 1B to give Braun some days off.
