It worries me quite a bit that Fister is going to turn right into Roy Halladay.  Just like Halladay Fister has just continued year after year to get better and better and better, and now even his velocity is nearing what Roy has.  Fister is no longer a no k soft tosser.  He is legitemately in the 90s with his fast ball and still painting like Maddux.  If he turns in to a #1 ace like Roy and Greg then we will be crying in our milk for quite a while over that one!  If Doug turns into what I think he will turn into and at pre arb and arb salaries then it doesnt really matter what the boys brought back in trade do, none of them will EVER be worth it, even if the ALL hit their 99th percntiles!
I wonder how much Fister not being one of Jack's own (Bavasi drafted him,I guess that is at least one feather in Bill's cap), went into his distaste for Doug.  Remind me again why it was so important to trade a guy this good and with as many club controlled years left as Fister has???  Becuase the Fister trade is really starting to be a burr in my JackyZ for President saddle ;)
