A $400k # 4 pitcher instead of an $8 million #3 (ie, bringing back Wash) or having to find another starting arm in FA? I'm okay with that for 2010. Let's us apply funds elsewhere and not stress about re-upping with Wash. Also getting back a pitcher that can be a major trade piece? We did better than keeping Washburn, IMO.
It's not the bat I want - but we still have time to make that happen.
Not a lot of time...but let's see what the rest of the day brings.
