Houston accepts. I know I give up a lot of talent but none of these guys were in the future plans. Gourley was blocked by Robles, and has bad defense anyways which I don't like. That also explains the swap of Ramming and Wood, who can actually handle a pitching staff, and is younger and cheaper. Bowes is very good but he's about my 7th or 8th best SP spec so it's all good, I love Johnson and Wood, and they're 2 good pieces for my future lineup. Oh and Cornbill is solid too...

i was extremely hesitant to give up wood whom i love his handling and with nufio i can make johnson expendable. Bowes looks like a good spect and ramming steps in for me during his career year and gourley gives me very good depth

i accept

I'll let everyone else weigh in before I do.....

Actually, no, I'm confident to say this: veto

The lionshare of talent is going to Pitt and it isn't close. Bowes and the cash need to be out of this deal, ditto Cornbill. Then we are talking fair.

I never like it when people try to reason for selling low on a prospects because they are deep at the position. One, it's not guaranteed your layed out plan will go as planned. Two, having such depth in one area should be used to strengthen your club in other areas where you're weak.

Johnson and Gourley are probably a wash. I'd say Ramming is better than Wood and Cornbill sucks.

Pete, this is another bad one...

Also, as a suggestion - I could approve this deal if the two pitching specs are dropped.
