Rutherford not even a top 50 player in the organization 

Talk about lousy trades....is that pitcher we also got from the yanks still around that kept bouncing from us to the cubbies and back??

We can’t ever actually win a trade without some sort of laborious retrospective rationalization.  Seriously, what were they going to spend any money for the following 2-3 seasons?   Would love to know what was Plan B had he actually signed with the Cards for more money.

And it still doesn’t change the fact we still missed on all our evaluations on the players coming over from NYY.

Had we hit on that trade, we wouldn’t be so desperate for a RFer right now that we currently can’t afford to pay because of the shoddy roster construction.

This was a well discussed talking point when Robert signed.

It blows absolute chunks, but it was discussed a lot.

They dropped Zavala? Is that confirmed somewhere? That should be a thread if so.
