I think that may be a very good assessment. When you look at the whole thing, we gave up a positive in Brad Lincoln, gave up several negatives and mere promises and added two potentially excellent pieces and possibly three pieces that are just as good or better than what was shopped. And don't forget, a place was made for Marte. I still can't get over the inability or indifference to the shortstop issue.

Pence LF, McCutcheon CF, Marte RF; Jones 1B (McGeehee backup), Walker 2B, Mercer SS (Barmes backup), Alvarez 3B; McHenry C (Barajas backup); bench Presley, Sutton, Harrison. Gorkys back to the minors.

Barajas should be backing McHenry up!!
