Agreed

Did I trade the next Nebraska for two declining veterans?

Or did I trade some kid that will never pan out for a couple of guys likely to rebound?

Or did I just collect some more of my former guys?

[RonCo]

Yes.

[sjshaw]

Had to look up who Nebraska was. Holy shit even 85% of that would be nice.

[RonCo]

On one side, there's LOTS of development to go here, but there's something to like in all four guys Louisville is getting ... on the other side, Morales has had a hard time getting through a year without getting hurt a bit (and he's getting older) and Jaramillo has never really performed like you'd think he should but it gives Wichita an instant credibility to the rotation.

When you say Nebraska in this context you need to drop to one knee. There is Nebraska and there are the rest.

I guess I should have asked about Pepe while I was at it! Hope these rookies pan out for you, you have some really interesting ones now and 5 great pitches on Feliciano, wow. And Wichita is making a move, they needed to upgrade their pitching and this sure does it.

After my earlier pontificating, I have to admit this lines up Wichita's assets much better. Good move Stu. Looks like I might have to start stockpiling up all that crow I'll have to eat.

[Bumstead]

Interesting trade on both sides IMHO.

This trade can go in a lot of different directions. High risk/high reward on both ends. Someone will likely be kicking themselves in 5 years, not sure who though.

Classic Shaw trade.
