[QUOTE="O&B4Ever, post: 1571493, member: 747833"] I initially hated this trade when I first heard the news, but after analyzing the youngsters we received, I feel a little better. They seem to be contact type hitters, which we need. Yeah, they're years away from the big leagues, but this is what we're gonna be seeing, IMO. Fill up the minor league rosters with these type of hitters, then you can sign the power guys in FA or trades. I think this may also signal that KB isn't going anywhere, at least until the trade deadline, so they had to cut salary somewhere to get under the cap to avoid a 3rd year of overage. Yeah, they seem to be punting on this season, but I think they'll get "back in the game" so to speak, starting next year. Plus, I don't think they'll be terrible this year, could still win this crappy division, but yeah, no WS playoff run. Hendricks, Davies, Adbert, Mills and maybe Lester, ain't a bad staff to work with. And may be more moves to come yet. [/QUOTE]
