We Accept, gives us early round picks including another top 5 selection, dumps a huge salary and helps build the team's farm even more.

Prescott hill is expiring. what's the $15M for?

[AndyP]

You arent dumping salary if you give 15m along with it. Explanation?

[piazza31]

:ATL: accepts gains a good centerfielder for the remainder of the year + cash+ a good sp convert spec

[jps93]

I don't like it, but its not enough to veto:

approve

[piazza31]

i will explain this one time and one time only
The only reason texas threw in 15mil was for me to accept the deal, other wise i wouldn't have as Hill does nothing for me and costs me to lose cash than gain, the spec is the only reason I'm even doing this deal other than the cash, he gets 2 top 35 picks the latter pick is worth 15mil alone about and if you tell me hill and the spec is worth more than thomas and a top 4 pick than fine but if you think it's worth vetoing over than w/e

[mattynokes]

I don't mind it at all. It is a little perplexing, but it's not bad at all for Texas. They have no use for Hill and he has little trade value. Beaver is a solid prospect, but no where even close to the #5 overall pick value. With the cash involved it's almost like them taking on a little salary and giving up a solid prospect to gain a very early pick in both the 1st and 2nd rounds.

I'm not vetoing...I'd approve this deal. But KC once again explains himself in very bizarre fashion.
