After reading some of the comments I'm starting to like this trade. We've been very lucky in the bullpen injury wise, and it's inevitable someone is going to go down. With the addition of Linebrink we can lose a big arm and still have a solid pen. Inman, Garrison, and Thatcher is a big price to pay for a rental reliever, but the Padres obviously liked him, and we're going to get some nice draft picks when he walks. Inman is a good prospect, but he's just a prospect. He's not the same prospect that Gallardo was who was dominating AA at this time last year. The scouts didn't think he could be more than a bottom of the rotation starter, and the Brewers figured he was expendable. Its a tough loss to swallow, but not a huge loss. Thatcher has been excellent in AAA, but I think we all know that it doesn't guarantee major league success (see Balfour, Grant). Garrison looks good, not great in A ball. He still has a long ways to go before he makes it to pitchers heaven.
