i honestly think we should keep garza now...unless turner is offered

I'm very pleasantly surprised.

The pitcher we're getting back is young as well and seems to have some strikeout potential.

He sure does. Just saw his stats. Pretty impressive for a rookie. Also, he only gave up 4 HRs all year. I like this deal quite a bit.

He's a bit older (22) and in low minors so those numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt, but I think the Cubs can probably help him figure it out.

FYI, he was drafted in the 3rd RD in 2010, so he has quite a bit of potential. Love what Theo is doing for you guys.

Josh Byrnes shouldn't be the kind to just lay down and die like this. Hope there's nothing wrong with the two we got back, especially Rizzo.

Wow, I really think this is an awesome deal for us. I trust Theo's judgement 100% in going and getting Rizzo, who was one of his top prospects in Boston before trading him in the Adrian Gonzalez deal. I did like Cashner quite a bit, but I'm happy to give him up considering Garza's name was being thrown around, and the move to Petco park should be extremely beneficial for Cashner's future. I'm excited about the potential we got back in the deal.

You mean we didn't trade him for Randy Wells and James Russell?

lulz.
