    I would be good with this if the guy was a SP2.

    He's got the stuff, he's just gotta figure out how to navigate the 2nd/3rd time through the lineup. Miller/Murphy think different pitch sequencing can fix this. If it fixes Kikuchi then the deal will have been a good deal.

    we
    We gave away six years of control of a very bright future for two months of a might be fixable pitcher. Nothing will make this a good deal.

    A WS title would make this a great trade. When is the soonest Kikuchi can start?

    Sure seems like a win now mentality like Crane is going to sell the team

    I would trade off a Larry Anderson type deal for another ring.

    Dana does not value prospects or the idea of team control. Short sighted trades. The window will be closing much faster now

    Success with home grown prospects under long term team control was literally what got him our job. Either Crane is handcuffing him or the Atlanta organization is a machine that could succeed with any jabroni in charge.

    Yeah. The window is definitely closing. And they didn't get nearly enough...
