And you almost NEVER get a marquee guy there.
So that makes people feel like he's a throw-in on the deal.
Chance Ruffin is a Real Pitcher, and has as much chance (ha) of being our closer next year as Wilhelmsen.  He's an absolutely valid and important piece of the deal.
But he came much later, without fanfare, so it feels weird to trumpet him as a major piece of the trade.  Hopefully we can sound some trumpets for him this year - I think he'll help the pen a bunch.
