I think Jack might take it back if could. I hope he would. Maybe not in the sense that he would necessarily keep Fister, but that the targets might have been different. Also, there was no reason he had to be traded at the deadline. As you note, it's early, and we did go for quantity over quality, but it just seems llike those trades were out of character (eg obtaining young, controlled MLB ready talent) by going for a lot players that are pretty much risky dice rolls with severe flaws. Hopefully some will work out.
We traded Fister, Bedard, and Pauley. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that that should have brought back something pretty studley. Two TOR starters (one with 5 years of control and cheap) and a solid BOR/BP asset? I sometimes wish we had offered all three to one team as a package. Might have brought back a beast, and really tweaked the Yankees in the process!
