if this were 2 decent starters with little to no injury concern i would be more optimistic about this move
but a lot of people are jumping through hoops to make this deal make sense. it fills 2 needs, but it fills them with an inflated 1 year rental on an OK corner who can't even do a push-up (or even worse a restructured contract with more gt'd money), and a MLB who I like, but has an injury history that should basically remove any real value whatsoever....availability is the best ability and when he gets injured in a year it'll be the same old thrashing our FO has been getting for years about acquiring overpaid and injury prone players.
we had a shot at getting a real difference maker at 8 in either hargreaves or jack, and if they fall, I will be even more down on this move. maybe we can get a good player at 13? sure, but we know where the elite prospects started and ended in this draft and the rationalization of 8 to 13 vs 5 to 3 are ridiculous...
