He sure did give up a lot for Latos who isn't even better than Volquez. The Pads fleeced Jock on that dealio.

What I have a hard time believing is that Jocketty wants Willie Harris and other great ones that really fit the Dusty mold.

They both have one very good season. Volquez' 2008 and Latos' 2010. This year, Volquez is better. I thought this was common knowledge.

Anyway, even if you think Latos is better, is he so much better that Jock had to part with two other top prospects to get him?

What did he give up? None of those given up were in the long term plans of the Reds and he filled a glaring need. Walt has made some questionable moves..the SD and CUB deals are not.

Whom has greater upside? Latos without question.

Players are assets. Whether or not those players fit in here does not matter. Jock gave away a lot to get a guy who is marginally better than what he already had.
