I accept. Obviously, I'm rebuilding, and need players. Cobb has potential to rake, and Woodyard is raking, and will be a great MLB hitter. However, I'm getting some much needed pitching help, and some draft picks to really leave a mark on this franchise.
Texas agrees.
We just lost our LFer for a year and Woodyard plays great defense and can leadoff. We need a leadoff hitter. Cobb adds another bat and better defense then we have at 3rd base.
The pitchers are minor leaguers and we are very deep in the minors with pitching. While I hate to trade that many (not really) picks, I feel we are deep througout our minor leage system and one year of missing this many picks wont set us back at all. In fact getting 2 players that are 24 and have great bats that can play defense made this a deal, one we couldnt turn down.
