Scott: "OK!"
Seriously this notion that it was Cincy all the way and no other way is lets just say as ways go, way overplayed.

I really think this is a good point. Who is to say that Rolen would not have been willing to go to a contender? And then just tried free agency thereafter?
One thing is for sure, as I said in an earlier post...Rolen is a huge upgrade at 3B. We can't properly evaluate this trade until Stewart makes it to the Show and has been there for a while.
