[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1405102, member: 588522"] We needed another controllable starter, preferably one that wouldnt cost 30m a year. Quintana was one of, if not the only one, to fit that mold. Try to remember hindsight. Cubs gave up a lot, as did teams who traded the likes of Russell, Arrieta, etc. to us did, and I might say for much worse MLB talent. Quintana needs consistency. He can be a 2nd/3rd guy. a year's worth of return isn't what we paid for him. If he doesn't step up, then yeah it'll be a bust, but if he helps us win a WS, it will be at worse a wash. [/QUOTE]
