I'm fairly certain that the quality of the players involved is more important than the number involved. I understand that, but if two of the players are Gallagher and Ceda (two who have good value) then that makes the deal overpayment, even if you only include prospects like Veal and Cedeno, or Marshall. 4 players, including 2 prospects with good value, is OVERPAYMENT for Robert. Don't even kid that the Cubs will include Marshall AND Gallagher unless they have another pitcher lined up in a trade somewhere else! While I'm sure you're right, don't forget it is Jimbo we're talking about.
