Abrams just hasn't found traction at the big league level. And Gore seems to have come backwards quite a bit.
I really do like Hassell, though. Good pure hitter (someone I was saying we should trade Flaherty for 2 years ago, when Flaherty had value and nobody knew who Hassell was yet). Campusano is a nice prospect - I have no real knowledge of Wood.
2 years ago I think that's a damn strong package. I wonder now if the shine has come off Abrams and perhaps Gore, though.

I dont think either Abrams or Gore has seen enough time in the majors to truly dim their lights.
The biggest problem I see for them is the money. They've been trying like hell to dump Hosmer and it was actually pretty close to happening with the Cubs last trade deadline and if they did give up that package they have no one left to sell with Hosmer.
Then again, money is the same problem I see with the Cardinals. Not because the Cardinals cant afford it, but because they have seemed unwilling to spend it for decades, unless you are talking about overpaying for the twilight years of career Cardinals.
