What the fuck is going on here?! I'm not even as big a DeRosa fan as most guys on this board, but even a blind man could tell you that he was an immensely valuable part of this ballclub. To shed his ass for 3 middling fucking prospects?! When the <i>best</i> prospect in the deal "might" one day become a decent back-of-the-bullpen guy?!!
And to sign Aaron Bitchfucker Miles for nearly what we were paying DeRo, when he isn't REMOTELY as good?! If this was part of a Peavy scenario, it would have been a fucking 3-way trade.
It's not.
Guess how I feel about Big Jim today?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You've gotta take into consideration though that the Cubs can't complete a Peavy deal until the ownership situation is settled. Aaron Miles for example doesn't want to wait another month to figure out where he's going to sign, and just because a team tells him they plan to make a trade in a month doesn't mean he should believe it for a second. Shapiro may have also said, "Look, Jim, I think you and Towers are going to work this deal out, but I really can't afford to wait around another month..."
