    But trading Touki for cash and Phil Gosselin is an all time head scratcher for me. Glad Coppy was there to make both of those trades. No one else was.
    i wonder if they took bregman instead of swanson, bregman would've been in that deal. we can dream.

    It wasn't bad. It was horrible.

    Lol Touki has gotten through the 4th and the 5th on only 15 pitches. He should probably go 7 at this point if his stuff holds up

    Touki is starting to settle in....being effectively wild, but he has a lot for us to be excited about.

    You can make all the logical leaps you want, and use all the hindsight you want... The fact is the Miller trade was a straight fleecing.

    with a double header you take a few more chances with whoever is the starting pitcher...i was hoping for 6 but 7 would be great

    He is at 70. He can go 100+. 7 should be no problem now.

    They were both atrocious trades. I've said before the Touki trade was arguably stupider because they just gave him up for essentially nothing...but the Miller trade was awful any way you look at it.

    Sure, you could phrase things as positively as possible for Stewart...and even still it's a bad deal. But what they actually gave up was:
    - a 3-5 win OF with 5 years of control
    - that year's #1 pick with 6 years of control
    - a top 50ish prospect with 6 years of control

    Your characterization of those pieces, if that is indeed what they thought of them, just proves their stupidity. If they thought Ender was a 4th OF, they're stupid. If they had already given up on the guy they drafted 1st overall 6 months prior, they're stupid. If they just sought to get 'back-end prospect' value from Blair, they're stupid.

    His velocity was 91-92 last inning at 60+ pitches. There has been a lot of talk about Touki to the BP, possibly due to not maintaining stuff for 90+ pitches.

    This is something else to watch.

    Probably should have gotten more back, but they gave up nothing at all essential.
