We did this deal to sure up our catcher position and add a solid young prospect. The deal fits our strategy by retaining cost effective talent outside of free agency. While we take a hit in terms of talent from Upton to Napoli and Davis to Harrison, the drop was worth it to add a good young prospect to the fold.
