But I'd give up McNutt and Lee in a heartbeat.
I just hope we aren't falling too much in love with our prospects -- that's all I'm saying.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
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.

2010 wasn't great, but I'm guessing playing for a perennial last place team was starting to wear on him. I guess we'll have to wait and see who the "real" Greinke is...
It just sucks to see the Brewers leapfrog us. I'm still trying to adjust to the fact that 2011 is going to blow...
