a few things.....this saves us 10 million, and floyd and gio become our #1 and #2 pitching prospects, but i think we coulda more...like a major league ready reliever....but to me this trade reeks of more trades to come....williams acquiring young pitching to trade for other parts

I think the market wasnt there or something, cause this deal is bulls*** IMO. There better be someone else involved.

 

Nobody was willing to trade top pitching prospects. They're too valuable.

So it's basically Gio being substituted for Rowand.

 

I don't really see how this makes a lot of sense UNLESS, these 2 are then flipped to the D-Rays for say Carl Crawford or Rocco Baldelli.

 

It's nice to have Gio back in the organization though for the moment because I rate him highly.

This should be a wake up call to some of the ridiculous trades that have been suggested on here.

 

Yep. Everyone thought having a surplus of SP gave Kenny great leverage. But think about it, with the cost (salary wise) of starting pitching so high, who is going to give up good young cheap talent for a pitcher who they can't re-sign after one season?

This is just one deal we couldn't afford to f*** up, no matter which starter we dealt we needed a great return.

 

f*** me.

 

Please wake me up when one thing positive happens this offseason. The only bright spot I can see is that jphat and I can't argue anymore about Garcia intentionally throwing a high curve.
