The only thing that gives me hope is Henry's solid track record. When he makes deals, they are usually really good ones that the majority of people agree helps the team.
Dealing DeRosa for these 3 prospects and replacing him with Aaron Miles is NOT a deal that helps the team.
However, it COULD, potentially, turn into a deal that helps the team if we either get Peavy or make another move for a big-time impact player (and I'm not talking about signing Bradley, that is a given).
I have a hard time seeing a deal pulled off that gets us Peavy, especailly since none of the prospects we recieved are top of the line prospects. But I am going to hold out hope that Henry has SOMETHING up his sleeve. He HAS to, he couldn't have traded away one of our most valuable players from last year for nothing; otherwise, it might be the worst move hes made in a very long time.
