I usually agree, but it's a RP with over 5 years of team control left, as opposed to an offensive upgrade for less than half a season.
Still, it's a guy that can give you 5 innings a week tops as opposed to a guy who gets on base and hits for power for all 9 innings. Coupled with the draft picks we'll get at the end of the year, we stand to lose nothing other then a good arm who comes with an even better story. Putz can inherit his innings this year, and a guy like Nunez or Santeliz can have a go at it next.
