I expected him to be part of a package. No I didn't expect him to get us Robert Jr straight up... But either we've greatly overstated his value around here, or he would have been welcomed by a number of selling ballclubs, as part of a deal...What do you think Nick Yorke was going to get you?
Quinn Priester is one year removed from being a top 100 prospect. This is a fabulous pick up. Priester is 50 IP removed from being our top pitching prospect and fourth overall. He leaves too pitchers high in the zone right now but if he can have a quarter of the success Kutter and Houck have had here, Priester could be a top line pitcher. I would put him over Bello going forward.
The point is, all, that he had value, decent value (this isnt a bad return) and we did not use him to address a top need.
