These guys are okay, much better than Coke and Kontos. Still not the highest ceiling, but the Pirates have serious pitching depth issues, so it's not the worst. This makes the trade better. Not equal return, IMO, but not nearly as bad as it was before. I think the Indians probably got more for Casey Blake than the Pirates got in this trade.
