I'd probably take Profar in the long run, but yeah basically.

Which is why I said at least. I don't like the move a whole lot, but the Royals DID get better, even if it does mean trading their potential star, which isn't a sure thing yet.

I'm getting prepared for a Hanrahan-Capuano trade soon. After further review, I wouldn't hate it as much as I thought I would.

He's an innings eater, and the Pirates need one. Hanrahan doesn't have much value at the moment. I'd like more, but I'm being realistic. Hell, I could see Dee Gordon in the deal because I know how NH is.

So, the Royals traded their 2nd best pitching prospect who is major league ready also? So, so dumb.

Unless the Royals know something we don't know about Myers, Odorizzi, and Montgomery, then SMH.

Asleep at the wheel. The Mets want to market Dickey all year as the CY for more money? It's ridiculous.

Eh. I think it's entirely possible the Royals just preferred Shields...

Well that just set up the Rays for the foreseeable future.
This is almost on the scale of the trade that sent Dan Haren to Arizona.

I just don't see it being a solid deal... I don't know. Maybe its because Hanny is one of the players I actually like on the Pirates or maybe its the fact he just came off a great 2011 season but I think he is worth more than Capuano.
**** if that was the case the Red Sox should trade Lackey and pick up some of his money.

This is something that baseball fans must understand. Trades never happen in a vacuum. It's not just " a pitching of a certain caliber" that is traded. It is a. Actual pitcher with a specific contract, certain abilities and a specific career trajectory.
For example, lets not forget Wade Davis was at one time a very highly thought of starting pitcher as well. It's very possible Moore likes Davis as a starter. He may think he's getting two starters for this package.
