Waaaaay too early to call it a complete win. If OrderEZ turns into a good pitcher, and Cain turns into a good CFer... do we call it a huge win for us at that point even? Getting 3 good ML players for 1 superstar? I dunno if I call that an hands down landslide deal for KC... if one of these guys turns into a superstar.. just One... then I'll feel like we got even return at the very least....

No, it is a complete win. I will take a stud, defensive SS like Escobar who I run out there everyday over a stud pitcher that I am going to run out there once every 5 days. SS's, great defensive SS's are a rare commodity. Escobar's defense alone gives us the win on that trade. The fact he is hitting over .300 makes it just that much sweeter.
