We won that trade and its not even close. Latos is turning into a beast and hes only what 25? No one is talking about him but at 13-4 with an ERA at 2.93 he has turned into a true ace.
We won that trade the day it was made and nothing that happened after it would have changed it.

What's strange is that he has 2 mechanical issues that could easily be fixed. I'm just wondering if he's like some players who don't take very well to instruction.

The trade has worked out well for the Reds. I liked it at the time, and like it even more now.It is an awfully good one at that.
But it's absurd to say the Reds won the trade the day it was made, IMO. Latos could have blown out his shoulder in spring training, and the 4 players the Reds gave up could have prospered in a big way. I don't score trades until the players play baseball. I may like or dislike them, understand the rationale or not, but I'm going to wait to assess the benefits to the franchise until the baseball happens.

Jimbos comments are priceless.
