Haren Traded
Here's a good example of the real price of young pitchers. Arizona just completed a trade for Danny Haren and they gave up four of their top-ten prospects (according to Baseball America) plus two other players to get him.
That's a pretty amazing haul for one pitcher (ok there was a 26-year old AAA reliever thrown in by Oakland) and I think it will probably drive the price up for a certain pitcher from Minnesota.
But, think about that 1-2 punch in Arizona, Webb and Haren, that's impressive.
Isn't it nice to talk about baseball on the field again?
