Don't get why anyone thinks that liking the deal at the time would be some kind of fail. They were some pretty well regarded prospects at the time and we were just responding to those rankings. If anyone failed, it was the evaluators that said that they were top 100 guys, not us. I think @taiwanmarlin is the only one living in the future, so no one else could have known how badly it would turn out.

Exactly. Many media members also said this was the best trade of the big three that we sent out, at the time. Wasn't just us fans here getting excited about that return.
