    I'm good with it. His sinker is still excellent.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Gotta think this is a prelude to signing Kimbrel in the offseason.

    Fredi couldn't finish off venters' arm. If snit moves venters into Freeman's role, snit probably finishes it for good

    This is a trade I can get behind. Love me some Venters. His prime years he was the best reliever I have ever seen.

    I just mentioned him in the other thread yesterday, he just returned from the DL. Good deal.

    Snitker will still use Freeman in every game.

    I'm down with this trade. Cheap and has a good bit of upside with little downside. I just hope we aren't done. I still would like a right handed bullpen arm and a bat.

    Don’t know how much this really moves the needle but I sure do love Jonny Venters.

    Joe or Chip asked one of our players that faced him in the at Tampa series about the super sinker and the player said it was like JV was never injured it still worked so good!

    Low risk with a potential reward. Plus, how can you not pull or like Venters for keeping at it through the injuries?
