Printfor JD Drew....... How the crap did we let that happen - considering we are usually good at trading players that don't pan out in the long run.
Now he's got a 4-year deal to be the Cardinal's ace. I want Atlanta to have a young homegrown ace again.

Drew made us better that year, but with Boras as his agent, it was kinda obvious we wouldn't resign him. This looks just as bad as the Denny Neagle deal in hindsight...but then again, hindsight is 20/20.
i'd have to agree...
with tradeandruw. wainwright is a good pitcher, still young, but hardly an ace at this point. he's their #1 starter, but that becomes a moot point after opening day, and it's also out of default. the day will come when we'll have farmhand rise and become a legit ace.
sure, in the long term, they got the better end of the deal, but like bigjoe says, drew did make us better, and give us a hell of a player for part of a season.

well, we have Jair throwing pretty well this Spring. Our rotation will be just fine.
