Jansen does have talent and could be number one with some teams so we could have gotten
a lot for him where talent is always in demand.
I would have traded Kirk who had the greatest value as reigning starting All Star
We would be weaker at catching without him but better in other areas whether
it was a hitting and defensive outfielder or star reliever while still being strong in catching
All we got was Varsho at .220 and with a career .230 for the best catching prospect in baseball
who proved last year he is ready to be backup
BTW, Varsho is our second back up at catching so that does give us some insurance in
case someone goes down but if he was a solid catcher he would be doing it and
who will replace his defense in the outfield if he is forced to catch as his defence is why we got him
Trading top catching prospect in baseball for a defensive outfielder seems like a bad trade
