They wanted Bruce + for bedard...
Then they wanted kemp/Kershaw but would have settled for a package around those 2...
The deal they ended up with is one we won, but its still hard to believe we passed on that cinci deal.
Chris Tillman is the youngest pitcher in AA, i believe, and he has the best BAA...or close to it. Jones should turn out to be a good CF and the other players we got have some potential. Hopefully sherrill turns into a deadline deal guy and we get another prospect.
Whoever doesn't get traded for the longest amount of time.

Hard to say. Josh Hamilton might be the best baseball talent to ever play the game. Will that translate into success? It sure is now. If he stays healthy there is no reason why he shouldn't be a first ballot HOF.
Sky's the limit for Bruce, though. Kid is 21 and is already one of the top 5 outfielders in the game.
