I lose a few of my favorite prospects (Sanchez, EY Jr., Bastardo) to make some new favorites (Flowers, Reddick). Flowers may step in as my starting catcher at some point; I pick up better outfield depth; and replace some of the pitchers I lost in the trade to Chicago.
Laura, thanks for being patient with me over the past week on these negotiations.
