    You said he'd win a Cy Young in Toronto. You were wrong.

    The head scratcher I see right now is Casey Megehee for Chad Qualls
    He might be an incredibly small upgrade to Ondrusek and a hurt Bray. I would take Simon and Arredondo over him without thinking about it though. JJ hoover for that matter too.

    My quick opinion: 1) Possibly an overpay, and 2) I don't particularly care. I don't think Joseph is destined to be an elite major-league closer or setup guy, and I can't remember the last time a team seriously regretted trading a 24-year-old minor-league future middle reliever. I'm sure it's happened, but the odds are in the Reds' favor here.

    You don't have any posts in the 'I was wrong about...' thread.

    Carry on.

    Meh, it was my initial reaction to the trade. Carry on doing what you do.

    No matter how mediocre Stewart continues to be, you don't think you may have been incorrect?

    The Reds weren't even sure Stewart would cut it as a starter. Just because you thought he would be a future Cy Young candidate doesn't mean the Reds shared your optimism. It could just be that the Reds weren't as high on him, and if that's the case, he's done nothing to really make that seem silly. At what point do you concede that Stewart has not lived up to your expectations, and maybe the Reds didn't overpay because your expectations were way too high?

    As for the trade? I like it. It was just a couple of weeks ago where it was seeming like the BP was wearing thin. This helps now IMO.

    Wow.
    You thought that Stewart was our #1 prospect. Obviously the Reds thought differently.

    The only guy that ended up having value was EdE as a DH.
    Stewart might eventually make something out of himself, but it's not looking good now

    You've never said what a "Fair price" for Rolen would've been..

    I'm happy to wait and see. I have more questions about Broxton than regrets about Sulbaran and Joseph.
