[QUOTE="Illinicpa14, post: 1173338, member: 338881"] I don't know what to think of the trade overall... I like the pure player swap (I'm not huge into Thompson and after seeing Micah Johnson in the majors and minors another year, not sure he's going to become anything more than an average player ever). I just can't help but feel this is the same as every year of going half all-in. Although they are improved, I still don't see them making the playoffs short of having a big surprise 4th or 5th starter or a big resurgence by one of the position players. At this point, I feel like they have to get a Justin Upton or Cespedes or it's just another wasted two years, but committing another 100+ million for those guys also doesn't seem great either.
