I like all of the additions. Sanchez can chunk too! I'm less happy about him. We'll see if he can be fixed. STROMFATHER! |

Pretty much everyone of you idiots is an idiot. Bunch of grown men crying over something they have absolutely no clue as to what’s going on.

Since I don't really follow any of the Minors I don't know how each of those guys were. Will wait for Olpapa evulation of Who we gave up and how good or bad it was. I feel we stole Greinke for what the Astros traded. Per the most recent MLB.com rankings Beer, Bukauskus and Martin were our #3, #4 and #5 prospects and Rojas just recently moved into our Top 30 at #18. Arizona got a good return. That said, I see Beer as strictly DH material at the ML level. We have Alvarez already. Beer was going to be blocked. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Arizona flip him to an AL team before long. Bukauskus has a lot of potential, but has been very inconsistent this year. Martin is recovering from a TJS. I hate to lose Rojas. I think he has the potential to be a decent Marwin-type utility player at the ML level. We still have some good arms in the pipeline. Whitley looks like he may be getting himself straightened out. Glad we didn’t lose him. Cristian Javier at AA is going to be a stud, if he can cut down on his walks. Glad we didn’t lose him. Brandon Bielak at AAA has really been coming on strong recently. Glad we didn’t lose him. Then there’s Abreu, Urquidy, Paredes, Ivey, ..... We’re still ok on the farm. I agree. Beer is one dimensional. He really is an AL guy but we will see. I wasn't impressed with Martin but who knows what was going on with him physically. Word was he has great stuff, just didn't get a chance to show it. Bukauskus was inconsistent as you said, but not really a front-line starter. Most saw him as a bullpen guy. Given what we assume about Cole and the money we receive for Greinke, this is another Verlander deal., IMHO. |

Need to take a moment to recognize Luhnow. He pulled this off without losing Whitely or Tucker.
He's the Man!!!!

Woke up this morning and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the news about Greinke. I'm usually the one that favors a few small tweaks rather than a blockbuster trade, but I love this move. Our window of contention isn't going to last forever and starting pitching was definitely our biggest need.
Kudos to Luhnow for pulling off another huge deal at the deadline.

One of the best things about this Greinke trade: no more groan-inducing Beer puns.

I'm very surprised. Cole is gone for sure, but I think that was a foregone conclusion. Will be interesting to see how Luhnow manipulates the cap to extend the window.
