[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1800468, member: 747321"] That's kind of an apples and oranges comparison though. The JD Drew trade was clearly not meant to have any short term value for the Cardinals. It's rare for a trade to be meant to improve both teams short term. But this one 100% was meant to help both teams compete [I]this[/I] season. Both these players are free agents after next season, neither is a prospect. The thinking on both sides was in regards to depth issues on the current squads. This isn't a trade with significant long-term implications. And Monty wasn't going to start a single game in the playoffs. If you watched his last 4 or 5 outings that was obvious. Flaherty would've pitched game 3, which is why he never came in out of the pen.
