I mean, if you guys want Willie Harris and Mike Costanzo as our LHB pinch hitters off the bench instead of Alonso, then that's your call
Fair point.
My point is, they were already grooming Chapman to move into the rotation prior to the 2012 season.
I don't see the point in making the trade when they did unless it was going all-in this year.
And now people are giving Latos a pass cause he's young. Sorry, when you give up as much as the Reds did, you can't afford to miss
I still don't understand why you keep saying it was a move made for this year. That makes absolutely zero logical sense. They acquired him so they actually could compete for years to come. This will be the same team for years now.
And again, it is far too early to be able to say they missed on him.
