From Rosenthal's column today:
The A's wanted spring sensation/top pitching prospect Johnny Cueto from the Reds for Joe Blanton - no deal.

Go BLUE!!!
There's a line from Pulp Fiction I could quote here, if this wasn't a family-friendly web site.
The point would be, let's wait until Cuteo, you know, pitches at least a few real major league games before we start congratulating ourselves on not trading him for a proven starter.
probably was the starting point (non Bruce starting point, at least) in Haren discussions as well.
that had to be a tougher decision for Krivsky
Cueto for Blanton? I wouldn't have done the deal before and I most certainly wouldn't do it now.
Go BLUE!!!
Yes. Very much so.
I would have given Cueto straight up for Haren. Maybe even Cueto and another decent prospect.
But for Blanton? No friggin' way.
I just wish they would have gotten Haren.
