Trade away our best prospects for a PITCHER!!...who is not exactly Sandy Koufax!


We can lose 1-0 ...we KNOW that!

I think clyde this is a reaction to after the 1997 season when Pedro Martinez could have been ours and we refused to include Jaret Wright in any deal because of his "potential". We all know the careers both of those had after the 1997 season. Not saying this will turn out the same nor that Jimenez is anything close to Pedro, but I understand the logic. I don't think it means crap overall as it's hard to see them winning anything, but it clearly states they are all in for 2011, 2012, and 2013....then it's over again for quite awhile. White throws a splitter and has already had middle finger problems (don't we all!!) and Pomeranz had issues in college too. It's a crap shoot with both guys. Both could be great, both could be terrible. I think it's likely one of the two will turn out good. I honestly can't praise or bash this deal. I see the logic to both sides of the debate though. (every time I leave my house for awhile all hell breaks loose in Cleveland!!)
