Interesting Thome Tweet

Just saw this:

Quote:
Elias update: Eddie Bajek told me that Jim Thome dropped from Type A in the AL to no type in the NL.
It sort of is nutty and makes sense at the same time.

Thoughts?

Yep. I could see it. He would be grouped with 1B-OF-DH. Because there are so many good 1B & OF in the NL, I could see him dropping out of the top 40 percent of players in his group.

I heard he did gave a funny quote when he found out he'd been traded: "Should I call them and tell them I can't play first base anymore?"
