I don't know if the deal was, "Montero + one of Nova / Noesi for Campos and Pineda" or if it was "throwing in Campos gets you Noesi, throwing in Walker gets you Nova" sort of thing. In the latter case, I absolutely get it.
If it's the former...well, Nova keeps getting underestimated and Noesi has the superior minor league numbers in less time for his climb up the ladder. All the more reason I'd like to be patient with Hector and let him figure some things out in a less pressure-filled environment.
But I'd have taken Nova to get a starter who's ready NOW, since it's this rotation we needed an arm in. Still trying to see the whole picture.
