    Great deal for both sides. Each side takes on some risk, but each side also gets some security. With the way arbitration salaries have been going, it does seem like the (Devil) Rays got the better end of this, though.

    They're going to regret that one. The Cubs for not picking him or the D-backs for putting him at Low A? Not taking Parker. At the time, it seemed very hard to argue with the Vitters selection.

    So Deeds is in Tennessee? I know he's somewhat blocked in Iowa, but does that pretty much tell us exactly how useful they ultimately view him to be, as a bench guy, trade piece, or otherwise?

    There is absolutely a way we could afford Rick Porcello. Just doesn't pop. I like it the way he said it. :D

    Who was the PTBNL we ultimately sent to the Tigers for Monroe? Or did we just settle up for additional cash?

    Well, let's see. The National League average starter put up a 4.65 ERA last year. The average National League reliever put up a 4.06 ERA. So 200 innings of 3.75 and 80 innings of 4.06 gets you a 3.84 ERA out of both players combined. 80 innings of 2.00 and 200 innings of 4.65 gets you a 3.89 ERA overall. Wow, given that I just picked those numbers out of my head, I feel as though I must toot my own horn for getting them so darn quantitatively close. :thumbsup:

    I also find it fascinating to wonder, and Marmol relieving/starting triggers it... Would you rather have a starter who could consistently put up a 3.75 ERA over 180-200 innings, or a setup guy who can put up a 2.00 ERA over 80 innings?

    Wonder what the chances are Rhee gets bumped up to Daytona this year?

    Rundle has been supremely disappointing thus far. I had high hopes for him out of the draft.

    Does grit count for nothing anymore? Theriot outgrits Cedeno by at least 2 to 1.
