As stated in tonight's game thread I do not think there is any possible way you can NOT support this trade by NH and the fact that he did NOT wait to get it done. I think he is on the hunt for some lumber and I for one am hoping that he brought his big gun 8-) We need an influx of a proven stick preferably with post season experience if at all possible.

6 days and counting ....

I don't know who you take out of the rotation ... Correia has been pitching well and Bedard is just starting to get back into gear ... but maybe you let McDonald sit out a turn (that's what I do and try to get him back on track like they did Bedard) and then go to a 6-man rotation. It should keep our starters' arms fresh ...

Correja is gone -
I like the deal
I think the prospects we gave up are mid-range at best
And we got a quality durable LH. With the stros eating 12m looks like we got him for three years at average of 6m per - that's a great salary

And we have aces on the arm to come up next year and thereafter
If bedard can be decent this is a rotation that can compete

I am with zeabow that I think they should skip iMac a start and let correja go once more in his slot. Adding Wendy allows correja to do long relief and spot start which is a solid benefit and makes the while staff better

They must get a hitter now. And I changed my mind that I don't want victorini
They need someone to hit behind cutch and bring up matte

Reminds me of the Zane Smith deal - hope Wandy can pitch like Smith down the stretch - also hoping Grossman doesnt turn into another Alou.
