That's why we were denied our Lee/Hamels/Halladay rotation...because Aumont, Gillies and JC Ramirez were so much more valuable than the two compensatory picks we would have gotten for Lee in '11. And the World Series we might have won in between. I am always inclined to give RAJr the benefit of the doubt because of what we have enjoyed on his watch, but this move never made any sense. Did we even ask the Angels what THEY would have given us for Lee? According to Amaro, it wasn’t about the money–it was about replenishing the farm system with new prospects.
