Dumb, dumb, dumb.........maybe it's the fact that the Brewers know they won't be good until 2017 and need talent to due so. So trade away a 30yr old pitcher for a stud OF prospect. Exactly. The position was that we were trading away a good 4/5 type starter who will be 33 by the time we intend to compete. If he were seen as a legitimate ace or if he were 25, maybe you hang onto him. I'll agree with Melvin's bet that the package he received from Houston will be more valuable in 2017-18 than what he had to give up.
