Yeah, but compare what Garland and Contreras did for us compared to Javy. Garland won 18 games two years straight and was a vital part of our WS title, as was Jose who was the best f***ing pitcher in baseball for quite a while. IF Jackson can pitch like that next year he'd still be worth the investment.
Keep in mind, good right now or not I still don't like the trade in hindsight.
