Gotcha.

It read like you were calling it a bad trade by compairing it to what it could have been, and not a bad trade on its own merits.

This does seem to be a departure from your "signing a big name FA doesn't mean anything, since such and such team could have signed extra minor leaguers with that money" approach...
