I would have went with so much value. I valued it a $100M in a value win for Florida at the time of the trade...might be closer to the $200M a certain Rays F.O. employee predicted by the time 6 years are up. Alvarez is looking like a legit number 4. Nicolino will still be in the bigs by September, Disco (great nickname) is pitching tonight. Hech is Hech, showing for short stretches that he's got a bat...but deep down he's all glove, the metrics will show that eventually. Escobar was wasted in a deal...but I might add that the Jays were better off dealing Escobar for Deitrich than going with Izturis and Boni.
I'll be the first to admit that I was wrong about Buerhle and his value only being in the innings he pitches.
