Was getting rid of your top 2 prospects worth renting a guy for 2 years that probably won't make any difference at all ? Meanwhile this team will trott out Hoachevar and Franceour and expect to beat the Detroit Tigers? 
This was a desperation attempt...the kind of move you make when you go all in, in a poker game and it's your last hand and you have a pair of 5's.
Moore got fisted hard on this trade. |
First of all Shields is ****ing good, real good; he also plays in the bigs, not the minors. 2 years is hardly a rental. 1/2 a year is a rental. If we can get Shields into an extra year or 2 we will be sitting fine. We can have all the hitters in the world, as long as Hochevar and Chen are getting 40% the starts we are ****ed.
