Obviously I'm not Billy Beane and I don't know what he's thinking for this season. The Kendall deal made me think the A's are still looking to contend in 2005. A deal of Huddy for prospects sure looks like rebuilding to me, and that sucks.  |
I agree.
I don't know much about Meyer, but if he's ready for the majors, then yes, he needs to be involved in this trade. But not the centerpiece by any means.
Hudson is worth Giles and Meyer. If the Braves are reluctant to move Giles, then fine, let them come out of this off-season with Kevin Brown instead of Tim Hudson.
This isn't a trade for Randy Johnson, where you're getting a 40-year old starter who may only be looking at one or two more years.
This is a deal involving a young pitcher, an ace at that, in the prime of his career.
