Woah. I swear, every, single, time. I did not in any way, shape, or form say it was a good trade, even a decent trade, no in fact it was a bad trade. I just said you can't damn it. AA took a risk when an opportunity was available and I respect that at least. You're not always going to get golden opportunities, but he had a chance to make the team better and he took it.
As for d'Arnaud.... you're actually saying a 25 y.o. catcher with one decent season under his belt is not a bit of a question mark... I just wanted to be clear about that. So if you were the GM you would go ahead and sign him to a big contract now then?
