The Brewers gave up jack shit to get him. We could have easily beat that deal. And I'd much rather have Greinke than Garza (if we're still looking to make that deal).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't know about that - I think if the deal was for equivalent Cubs prospects (guys we know and have come to appreciate), we'd think it was a lot.

From Crasnick:
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Kansas City's trade package for Greinke and shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt looks more like Mark Teixeira Lite. Moore got a shortstop (Alcides Escobar) who posted a .288 on base percentage last season, and a center fielder (Lorenzo Cain) with some ability, but no amazing, off-the-charts tool. He landed a young pitcher (Jake Odorizzi) who has lots of promise but spent 2010 in the Class A Midwest League, and another pitcher (former first-round draft pick Jeremy Jeffress) who served two suspensions for marijuana use in the minor leagues.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Unless Crasnick's analysis is wrong, it doesn't seem like the Brewers gave up all that much.
