MacDougal for Cortes and...

Even if it turns out to be a six-pack of Natty Light, it still seems like a good deal to me. Despite the best prospect (Cortes) turning out to not be the guy who was actually targeted (Lumsden).

that is a very good point to remember

Cortes will potentially make this trade a steal for the Royals, but at the time it was made, he was viewed as the throw-in, with Lumsden being the centerpiece of the trade.

That being said, I think Lumsden is at least worth a six-pack of Pabst.

I'd Hold Out

For a sixer if this:

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

I take some responsibility for this trade

I dropped Lumsden off of my 23 man roster a couple of weeks ago in my keeper league.

Welcome to the organization Mr. Cash Considerations

I'm mostly unsurprised.

He’ll be a nice reliever somewhere in the Houston organization. Not a whole lot more.

If that

I will be genuinely surprised if Lumsden sees regular MLB duty anytime soon.

Is it legal...

for the PTBNL is Jose Guillen, and he also goes to Houston?

Good bye Mr. Lumsden, you'll...
