    I am satisfied.

    Hader is a big prospect. Young, projectable lefty. Fills a weakness in the system.

    If correct, I feel a little better. Wanted Hader. Was hoping Hader & Rodriguez + lower prospect.

    quantity type deal. If these are the piece, have to say I'm a little disappointed.

    Hader was the prospect I'd hope we'd get; not an amazing deal, but a decent return.

    yeah I'm disappointed as well. Norris had value to the club -- he still would have been in his prime once the youngsters are up in 2015+. Hoes has no value to me -- I just can't see him as a +WAR player. Hader has value, but wow, not equivalent to Bud Norris.

    Jos Hader is the best prospect we got.
