Deal.
I would have had to negotiated with Boras, and with current resignings of Manny and Manuel Varqas this offseason I don't think I could afford all three. I needed to upgrade my pitching, although Sather and his lack of Fastball, quality pitches and OBA is a big drawback I think he still have some room for improvement and could become a quality number 2 pitcher.
Ballon will be my future 2B allowing me to move Hardigg to SS in a couple of years and the RP was a much needed necessity for my depleted pitching farm.
