Cards/Cubs

Cardinals send:

SP Bobby Bolin


Cubs send:

SP Bob J. Thorpe


Similar pitchers, but I'm not a patient guy.   Love that Thorpe will be up next year to start the season and help my staff out.

Thanks to Matt for the quick and easy talks as always.

Please place Thorpe in AAA into the rotation. I'll try and leave an open spot on an export, if not just take out the worst guy I've got there and move him to the pen.

We accept. We had targeted Bolin in last years draft but our spots didn't line up. We like Thorpe but we are at a point where we have a whole bunch of top notch AAA arms that are all going to be ready within a year or so of each other and we won't be able to fit them all. We had projected Thorpe as a reliever with his duration and the arms that we have ahead of him. This let's us acquire a little younger arm that's a little further down the road, with a little more duration and a Loyal rating. Thanks Matt
