Yes, with the trade of Haren it’s pretty clear that the A”s are taking a flier on 2008. Can Joe Blanton really fill the shoes as an ace, or will it fall on the shoulders of Lenny Dinardo? Still, with his reputation as “Mariner killer” I’d prefer to see Blanton gone as well.
The A’s received a good collection of prospects from the D-backs, and it’ll take a bit to see if the wheat falls from the chaff. Or if its all chaff.
