I think I would have Chi Chi and Mazara third and fourth on this list.

Investigation will keep Rangers prospect Ronald Guzman in Dominican Republic | Dallas Morning News

Guzman’s legal representative said he had not been drinking on the night if the accident and the motorcyclist ignored traffic signs.

Guzman, 20, has told Mejia that the motorcycle struck his vehicle from the side at a high rate of speed. Guzman also said he had not been drinking. Guzman was not injured in the crash.

Further:

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: Donaldson going to #BlueJays. Lawrie, RHP Kendall Graveman among those going to #Athletics.

Donaldson haters be aware

@JeffPassan: Full trade: Josh Donaldson to Blue Jays, A's get Brett Lawrie, pitchers Kendall Graveman and Sean Nolin, SS Franklin Barreto. Deal done.

A's are in sell mode...wow...No way they can compete with their best player gone...I don't get that one at all.

@susanslusser: Josh Reddick tells me he is shocked by Donaldson trade. "This doesn't make sense to me. We just traded our best player the last 2 years."

You can say goodbye to Shark as well. They are going to strip down mode. Beane wants to retool it looks like.

They will compete. Billy beane always finds a way

I think your right Rev. Don't get this trade either.

Holy shit...hope Guzman is cleared and did no wrong in the situation. Stay the hell off the roads in the DR!

No kidding, here's another

Cubs right-hander Pedro Strop is apparently doing OK after being involved in a car accident in the Dominican Republic on Thursday. The team called reports on his status "encouraging" but did not release any other details.

If they trade other pieces in the next couple of weeks, then you will have your answer. If Shark. Moss, Crisp, or Reddick are traded then I don't see them competing in 2015.

Guzman was detained for his own safety I was reading on LSB. Apparently the cops were worried the family member of the dead motorcyclist would try to retaliate. Crazy ass place.

Trying to rebuild with as few moves as possible to get max return, Billy's "all in" at the break has left A's struggling to try and compete. I know nothing of the players the Blue Jays traded aside from Lawrie, however?
