No not that Chris Carpenter which would have been nice to bolster the rotation. I guess the going rate for GMs is in decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Seems like they got more than a low level prospect for him -so they make out in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I like Carpenter...crazy arm strength...g'luck coaching him up so that he can get some results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thats a pretty good deal for the Sox. They were never going to get anything of real value, so a pitcher with good upside is better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 lol @ getting the cubs 13th best prospect after seeking a top ten Red Sox were NEVER getting a good prospect for Theo. NEVER. They're very lucky getting what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWombat Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Sox played it horribly. Shoulda used their leverage (when they had it before they let Theo go) to get something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 They got something decent for something they were going to lose anyway. The fact they got a solid guy with decent upside is more than fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetPotato Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I don't think that the Blue Jays are too concerned about this acquisition. Shouldn't really affect the outcome of that battle too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so.....I think the Cubs could argue Theo put the team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
