Fine, I'm with you. I'd give up McNutt and Lee as well. But, as Ace pointed out on his blog, the Royals weren't asking for McNutt and Lee. They were asking for McNutt and Lee and Brett Jackson and Robinson Chorinos. That's gutting our system.

That seems like more than what the Brewers gave up, but whatever. If any of those guys end up being nearly as good as Greinke, I'll be pretty psyched. And surprised.

I'm fairly certain none of them will be as good as 2009 Greinke. But it's possible any of them could be as good as 2010 Greinke.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
