Unfortunately I think this bought Cashman another extension but this was a great bunch of trades in a calendar year. <br /><br />He bought low on Starlin Castro and then bought low on Chapman. The biggest piece he gave up for Castro he got back (so we basically got Castro and Brendan Ryan's roster spot) for free and then got two great prospects including the Cubs top prospect for Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo, Tony Renda and Caleb Cotham. <br /><br />He absolutely robbed the Cubs and anyone who says otherwise (I'm sure Hans would) is wrong. Bottom line.

I said if...Hey, amazing work on cashman's part. I said if he signed his 2 picks, and handled Chapman well, I would give credit. I mark him with "amazing", an upgrade from great, because he got Adam Warren, a player that I have thoroughly (and I know you have too, Dan, Hans, and others) bitched about losing. (I know he has a high era, but I have faith) <br /><br />Essentially converted a few mediocre names into 2 top 100s, Warren, and a filler. <br /><br />If this is where it stops, I'm satisfied. Let's see what happens the next 4 games. Sadly, Beltran still needs to go... I'd say Rangers (since fielder is out), but nationals, mets, Id like. But it's time for the kraken.
