i've heard scouts say that if he can return to his pre-tommyjohn form it could be a steal. that' a big IF.
also heard this a.m. that the players to be named later may be on the 40 man, so they will have to wait out the waiver process. it'll be interesting to see who exactly that is before judging the trade.

either way, it's a good deal for the Reds, they weren't excited about getting draft picks for him, and there was a slight chance that arbitration with him would have killed them for next year.
