i will pass. i think hes getting 3 nice talents in return, but all of them have faults and are not really complete players, so on the other hand i dont think tampa is giving up too much. plus, johans impending free agency shouldnt hurt tampa too much, not like they have any other plans for that money as of yet.

i'll pass it as well. it's kind of an odd trade, because kazmir is ready and pretty damn solid as is, but... he too has flaws. moore is a nice spect, but only throwing 2 pitches hurts him in my mind, which keeps his value from being worth a ton. bankston is really solid.

If anything, Tampa's giving up a tad bit too much.. but, since all 3 players have flaws, and johan is.. johan, I will pass it.

im pushing this through, its 2-0 with 2 votes to go, and he got it in with plenty of time and we didnt do the right thing by them
