He and Leeann are no longer an item, but good taste. It is a no brainer. IMO you always give up position players to get good pitching, always. He is young and has his best years ahead of him according to his last coach. He has some blister and shoulder issues but what pitcher doesn't have health issues. The only thing that worries me is he is a National league pitcher and they have not faired well in the last few years changing leagues. Lowell gold glove caliber 3rd baseman. Maybe a change of venue will help his numbers. Hate to loose Meuller but not going to loose sleep over it. Hanley is a year or 2 away. All potential. You never know. You don't give up any of your good pitching prospects. At least with Beckett you have him for 2 years if he sucks let him go. Burnett you will have to tie up for at least 5 years. Theo probably had this going before he left. Go for it. P.
