May is better than Sproat, no doubt about it.
But this team has the best record in baseball, at least that is what we are told on the daily in this forum, so adding a guy like May, when we already have a good playoff starting rotation just wasn't that important.
Will he help us, sure, he will, that is pretty obvious, but did we need to trade the likes of Ragsdale and Frias for a guy when we already had Miz, Harrison, Henderson, Drohan, Gasser, as our starting 5. Sproat has no business in our rotation any longer, that is obvious.
Crow can be our #6 for Sproat if needed.
I'm not against getting May at all, and sometimes it comes off that way, I'm against what we gave up to get him.
