Carl Everett for Jon Rauch and Gary Majewski

I like it

How did we give up too much? Please explain that people that don't like the deal....

Let them have the Giant headcase.

I don't think we gave up too much at all.

We got a replacement DH cheap.

I like it...

I don't think we gave up to much. Good trade.

Is Majewski still a decently regarded prospect?

 

I saw him pitch a few weeks ago sitting next to some scouts right behind home plate. He looked good; much better than any other pitcher that game (better than Josh Stewart, if you can believe it). Dude had some pop on his fastball, sharp movement on his breakingball. Still, I like the deal.

Hate giving up Majewski, but I realize you have to give something to get something. I think Rauch straight up would of done it, but I guess the Sox got some cash considerations and thats why Majewski was part of it.

 

I'm guessing KW is now pretty much done in terms of the trade department, with the possible exception of a deal that involves a reliever or something.

I have a new respect for Kenny. He made a trade without giving up Anderson or Sweeney. Thirteen days to go.

Where's the option where we thought we gave up too much but still like the trade?

It's hard to say we gave up too much when we didn't give up much. Majewski could have helped in the bullpen, but it's hard to say when. Rauch could be a decent Major Leaguer, but he doesn't concern me much.

 

On the bright side of giving up Majewski, this opens up a spot for Baj in Charlotte if he is healthy.

So, was Carl cheaper last year or this year?

 

I was really starting to like Rauch.

 

Oh well.
