Chris young is a good starter thou?

Nah he's been slowing down here of late

Not a huge price to pay.

Spin it like a helicopter. Kansas City ! C'mon and raise up. This one's for you, uh-huh, this one's for who? Us, us, us ...

Cueto
Volquez
Duffy
Ventura

Not bad.

I'd love to know what the posters on the Cincy board think of this trade?

I don't analyze trades anymore. I dont know a fraction of what GMs do and it takes years to find out. I do think you can look at market comps tho and it seems we outspent Houston in their Kazmir deal....but we probably got a better pitcher.

He can borrow my chariot if he wants.

I hope Cueto chooses 48 or something.

Actually, F. Morales is 47.

The reason you can't analyze baseball trades like other sports is because one team is getting a proven usually, and the other team is getting guys who still have years to develop. It's what makes baseball great with the minor leagues and development of players. It's fascinating stuff compared to a football trade.
