Well said and that's how I feel. We don't really know right now. Yes it's a lot to give up, but that's the way it goes with pitchers that are ready to go and controllable. So all we can do is wait and see and cheer this kid on. Most of the time on this site, we value our prospects more than most GMs out there. And we love draft picks. So most trades look bad through our brew tinted glasses.
As for the worry about our current pitchers on the IL having some bad news coming, that could be true. It could also be that we don't currently have depth and need it badly. It will never be an issue to have too much pitching! So hopefully those guys all come back, but there will be hiccups, and it will be nice to have depth like Priester.
