I don't know about the others, but Jeff Stevens has done rather well so far in Iowa. He had a rough patch recently, but overall he's been playing quite well. He could be a solid reliever/closer down the line.

Gaub and Archer may even be better.

It was a good return for DeRosa... IF DeRosa HAD to be dealt. And therein lies the problem.

He didn't.
