Either that or live this fantasy where we trade nothing but B and C level prospects for talent that will actually help us. Nice job Dougie, now go get some more if you can. First off, Inman isn't a B level prospect, he's more like an A-. Thatcher is probably more around a B+ while I'd put Garrison at a B. Secondly, some of us "are in love with minor league baseball" because that's how a small market team has to build their team. We're good now, yes, but you seriously can't have enough pitching down in the minors. If they were going to trade Inman, I was hoping they could get an Adam Dunn out of it rather than a reliever on the downswing. Obviously it's impossible to judge a trade right away (e.g. Carlos Lee), but at first glance it looks like Melvin was trying too hard to add to the major league team, while severely injuring some of the future. We'll see though.
