He was full-on advocating selling low on Myers if that's what it took to get a legitimate MLB pitcher like Jurrjens. Several people called in to talk about Jurrjens smoke and mirrors act, and he didn't want to hear it.
I like Soren, but I don't think he values prospects enough. That's his most fatal flaw as a baseball analyst.

He doesn't want wins in the minors, he wants wins in the majors... and the minors are just a means to improve the big club. Basically, the Yankees approach.
