Getz's first batch of trades all failed, miserably. Like, in the way that Grichuk and Romo have had "games", nobody from that first off-season had a game. Every single position player sat at a .452 OPS into June. Every pitcher not named Crochet looked like they were facing hungry lions and counted their fingers after every pitch. The trades made sense. Bummer for Soroka and ... guys ... seemed like a fair gamble. Santos for Berroa, a draft pick and some dude looked innocuous. Fedde rounded into shape. Flexen could keep the game within single digits. It's just nice to see some guys pick it up and develop, like Vargas. It's a fun team.
