You mean, the team dangling the notion of adding a Cy Young-winning powerhouse SP, and then picking up a bunch of freaking scrubs instead?
Heck, why would that bring any fan down?

I almost wish I had never met you, Kabes, because you're going down the path where I like to call you crazy.
But then I remember what a kickass dude you are, and I just can't do it. So I'll respond peaceably.
No. I'm saying, the real reason people are pissed about this move is because deep down, they feel like it makes Peavy less likely. And if Peavy had never come up, this deal, viewed in isolation, is actually a fine move. Cedeno sucks and was out of options, and Heilman already is what we would hope Olson could be.
