Anytime you can get a top pitcher you do. Great trade!
I'm just happy with didn't trade all our top pitchers for a catcher whom no one likes and who has too many letters in his name!

Yes, I'd agree with that assessment. Beckett is pretty well a proven commodity at this point, and probably the only concern now is the workload he has already had as a young pitcher.
And of course I have a peculiar fondness now for Sanchez, having taken the time to go to see him pitch and score his games pitch by pitch. I just thought he had a lovely fluid delivery, with a nice whiplike action while bringing the arm around.
