    That trade was first about swanson. Then inciarte. Then blair.

    Doesn't change the value that Blair had at the time or what people thought of it. One of the reasons it was an insane trade.

    we made trades where we settled for quantity over quality...this whole idea of just looking at one player as the focal point is silly...the trades were made with the idea that some of the secondary pieces would pan out

    are you willing to completely discount mallex Smith because he was a secondary piece....it seems a silly way to do things

    beyond silly actually...thetheish

    I believe the Upton deal was about fried and mallex actually. Dustin was third and jace 4th.

    I agree. Fried was/is a much better pitching prospect than some make him out to be. That's part of why I'm so surprised that we haven't really had many opportunities.

    Would like to see DPete get a start today with Gio going.

    Edit: In Gwinnett, so much for that.

    I want to say this and it might be locked.

    Strasburg is a Punk Ass Bitch.

    Each time we did things to him, he always bails and said it is an injury.

    Ban me, don't care, but the truth is the truth even the guys in the booth brought it up of course they didn't say it like me, but they implied, especially Francouer.

    He is a baby, a petulant child that if it does not go his way he will take his ball and run home.

    Spineless I say.

    Strasburg is this generation's Bert Blyleven. Electric stuff, but pays for every mistake and seems to lack composure at key points in the game. One difference is that Bert was/is an absolute flake and Strasburg seems to be more of a whiner.
