I don't believe it. Bonn Bonn made a good deal, in which CJ or LJ were not involved.

Overpaid Krout comes back to the NL West

[cjkalt]

thats the elite MR he was looking for?

And I haven't made a bad trade in awhile now... at least i don't pay stone 15 mil

You are right. There were some shennanigans in the process, but GF got the best of this one.

Colorado has two HUGE salaries, but one is for 3 years and this new one is for 4, so we are going to be just fine as long as these overpaid SPs pitch to a sub 5 ERA.

Last year was only Krout's 2nd season with an ERA over 5.00

Of course, PetCo might have been helping him.

Now he's in Coors and he's definitely not a ground ball pitcher.
Train wreck in the making. At least his division is very weak. Nothing like spending 30 million on a couple of average talents to win a division with 85 wins.
