How often is it that a deal involving prospects is "fair"? They're called prospects for a reason...when I posted my trade block I believe I said I was trying to get rid of some money. Sanchez although may have put up the better numbers last season he's far from proven or consistant but the main reason is that he will be making a lot more money than Niemann in the next few years without too much difference in performance...yes Sanchez strikes guys out but I can fill that need elsewhere. Just because Howell and Soto were both the 2nd players listed doesn't mean their talents were being compared...Howell is a solid bullpen piece with a contract I dont mind and I dont know if Soto is still getting credit for his ROY award but he's nothing special and it isn't too far fetched to believe he'll lose his job within a year or so. Jackson and Guyer are somewhat of a wash IMO with Guyer being a little better hitter. I assume people saw that Jackson was the Cubs top prospect before the Rizzo deal and that Guyer was 6th or whatever for the Rays...that only goes to show how poor the Cubs system is and how strong the Rays are. Torres is an upgrade over McNutt and Hernandez is a long shot but a good one.
