We got good value mainly because we have control of them thru their prime years. Now if we can pull a Cardinal thing and get one or maybe two to become upper-echelon players, well.....  

I am excited to see what we get for Chappy as well. I'm hoping for a top 50 (say LF or CF player) and maybe another young, promising RP.
