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?
I would hope one good prospect and two middling ones, nothing more.

If that's the package then I will bow to the Greek God Anthopolous.

That would be one middling prospect and two who-cares. I can't imagine it's that little.

Still a good deal, but I like JCE.

Son of a bitch, this headline got me even though it shouldn't have as AA is not our old regime. Hopefully we only gave up the rumored three players headlined by Cumberland. If so I like the trade.
Holy freak.

So O'day pretty much negates Moylan now?

About what I expected in terms of overall value being sent for Gausman. I like all three of the guys being sent to the Orioles, but each has a question mark (or two or three). I'm most curious about how Phillips and Cumberland will do. Zimmerman's performance this year caught me totally by surprise and I have to wonder about his ceiling.
Edit: Adding Encarnacion for O'Day takes a little shine off the deal, but Encarnacion will probably have to make big-time defensive improvements or move across the diamond.

O'Day out all year with Hammy issue?

Wow...
That is...good value.
If the choice was Archer for whatever it took to beat the Pirates package vs Gausman for that package of fungible assets, I think AA clearly made the right choice.
Whether a controllable 2-3 win SP was truly a priority is certainly open for debate though.

Well we won't see O'Day this year but still a nice trade AA.
Is O'Day a salary dump?
