This is a good deal for many reasons. With Thomas out we needed another legit threat, and when healthy Everett is that. Also, Everett gives us another lefty to break up our RH bats. Also, it gives us insurance should Maggs walk next year and if Borchard proves to not be able to do anything. We also didnt lose much. Rauch would never have been higher than a #4 for us and with Cotts, Munoz, Diaz plus I'm sure KW will get a pitcher next year it doesnt hurt. Maj wouldnt have been here except in September. Also, what this does is give room for someone from BHam to move up to Charlotte, possibly Baj or Villacis. And, like someone said, it opens a spot on the 40 man roster if we wanted to call someone up
