The last time McDonald qualified as a prospect he was ranked #1 in their system. He also looked decent as a starter last year.<br /><br />The Lopez return was underwhelming, but so is Lopez. I see it as a wash.<br /><br />Also, you realize the Pirates actually took on payroll at the deadline, right? You can't call it a salary dump if they are, in fact, adding salary.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565979944355875510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-23470376062645729212010-08-01T11:54:35.257-04:002010-08-01T11:54:35.257-04:00And this decent trade was totally made up for with...And this decent trade was totally made up for with the salary dumps of Dotel and Lopez. <br /><br />Two 27 year old career minor leaguers will really make us a better team next year!BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-29653153149725821722010-08-01T02:32:45.904-04:002010-08-01T02:32:45.904-04:00Any trade that involves me not having to watch Rya...Any trade that involves me not having to watch Ryan Church play baseball anymore is a win. The fact that we also got a catcher who can, you know, catch the ball is an added bonus.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565979944355875510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-73233587222155915082010-08-01T00:12:48.280-04:002010-08-01T00:12:48.280-04:00How many gold medals has Ryan Doumit ever won?

I think it's a great sign that we may actually be making transactions now on the basis of competition rather than economics. <br /><br />Doumit doesn't like it? Then step up and be an impact catcher.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332484284552226579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-89719674485684395142010-07-31T21:48:07.025-04:002010-07-31T21:48:07.025-04:00Good trade.
