From the get go, I thought Stearns did a fantastic job in this deal. The only thing I was a little bummed about was not getting JT as part of a bigger package (but probably at a discount in a big super mega deal - a little bit of my previous OOTP managing coming out there.. lol) - but let's be honest.... Yelich is not a rental or even a couple year player... be becomes a cornerstone of this team. He's young and I believe only going to get better. If a couple of those guys end up ok (the only one I really was high on personally was Diaz), I think we would still make that trade 100 times over! I think as I've seen stated before, we over value our own prospects to some respect... but even doing so here, Yelich's don't grow on trees. I am much happier with him than Ozuna, as Yelich fits the mold we want to go towards, less K more OB%.
