The only reason why we would like to have received more is that we, in theory, were the team that held all the advantages in the deal. And we did think we were getting more, i.e. one of the top power hitter prospects in baseball at the time. And we also were able to get what look like better-in-the-long run deals for Cliff and Victor.I still don't understand why < 3 months of CC during 2008 would have been worth more than what Brantley has provided so far

Brantley is doing OK. That deal is beginning to look like a straight up deal for CC. Brantley not quite worth a CC. LaPorta's been a bust. I would change my mind if LaPorta got his act together. Highly unlikely. He had holes in his bat ever since I saw him on a consistent basis when he was playing for Leones in Venezuela a few years ago. Things have not changed much since.

5902Hosmer is going to be a stud unlike LaPorta.

5908I think our homestand ended today JR. We are headed to KC. That's going to be a tough series.

Re: GameTime!™
5909My mistake. We head to KC, then back home to take on the Tigers, then right back on the road to your town! Are you going to go to any games there?
