    This dude has a big ceiling... he's 19 and already throws 4 pitches, two of which are considered plus. Don't just assume this is a bad return. The more I read about him, the more I like him.

    Seems pretty clear we want the money for something else in the next week, and that terrifies me.

    When did I say this return was indicative of a value increase?

    I'd just like to know how you know it represents a value decrease?

    Shocking. I'm sure he will be talked into a Top 100 guy by the end of today.

    I'm still waiting for an explanation about how Garcia's value didn't increase after his last start....anyone?

    Lol what are you even arguing now?

    I stated Garcia's value did not increase. This trade proves that beyond all doubt.

    Yet you guys will still argue.

    LOL unreal...

    @mlbbowman: So, in short, the Braves traded Garcia & Recker to the Twins for a marginal prospect and financial flexibility to pursue a controllable SP

    Braves have a way about getting a guy that doesn't sound that great and turns out better than his rating. Keep in mind, he won't be rated very high at his age most likely.

    It sounds like it was more important for us to clear cash. I expect another trade to follow this one.

    Because he's been lower on EVERY list than Burdi. Afraid that's pretty simple.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    If you'll notice, I was never on one of your quotes. I never thought we were going to get a huge return. I just think this guy has a chance to surprise some people like Gohara did.

    LOL ok bud. Keep grasping at any straw you can so you can stick to the "his value increased" line.

    When you resort to the "we don't know for sure" argument...yeah...you're wrong.

    I doubt it. I just think he's an intriguing enough arm and a potential SP and I might actually prefer him to Burdi given that Burdi is pretty much a relief only prospect.

    What does worry me about the deal is that we might now waste prospects on a guy like Sonny Gray.

    And should we look at historical lists for accuracy? This is an inexact science. This guy could be absolute trash of course. But for anyone to sit here and say this person has an absolute value of X is silly.

    It looks like this was a salary dump trade anyway which isdissapointing. But any discussion involving prospects needs to include a bit of uncertainty.
