TC07, DSL, seriously? I have a hard time fathoming trading for an "under-the-radar" equivalent of high-A Tyler Cravy (who is just three days younger than Smith, by the way, and could simply be plucked in Rule 5). Trading isn't solely about outsmarting someone. I thought you'd be doing cartwheels over this deal (maybe not cartwheels, but jumping jacks, anyway), and you know I respect the heck out of you, but I'm starting to wonder if Doug Melvin could ever truly please you. Does anyone have numbers on how a pitcher performs when changing leagues from national to american or vice versa? Pitcher or Hitters advantage? I think the trade is good. Maybe Smith figured some things out last year that will help him going forward.
