Interesting side note on this trade. 

[nerwffej]

The side note was part of reason I picked him to deal for hawpe there wasn't anyone else I had I felt ok to give up without losing a good young player. This deal was a cap clear for him and a last chance effort for me to see if with ackley up for good I can catch wild card.

I was not posting to question, just thought it was interesting.  We all know Hawpe has been on the market for a while and this is fair value.
