You didn't answer my point. At the time of the trade, he had only made 4 post season starts. If the Cardinals traded for him because he was a postseason ace based on his numbers over four starts, they were fools. You can't make the 7 starts argument after the fact because he hadn't even made three of those starts when they traded for him. Why trade your best prospect, your best young starter, and a good reliever for a guy based solely on the fact that he had pitched very well over a 4 game stretch in the postseason? You seem to be basing your argument only on those four games.
