As for appeasing the fan base the day of the deal we were all really happy for the most part on OBN. For once we felt that NH had decided to go out of the box at the deadline. For me it is too early to judge this trade unless one of the 3 and or Archer blows out an arm, knee etc. Remember maxima enim, patientia virtus (patience is the greatest virtue).
If you doubt neither of those 3 guys would develop in Pittsburgh , you should be clamoring for a new front office instead of having false hopes and watching Pirate baseball. Well... fine to watch but don't think you'll ever live to see another Pitt WS if that's the case.
Let's take Meadows ... is your position he would never develop because he's blocked by a journeyman (having a great year) that has one year of control left ? If Dickerson reallyhas suddenly found it and was good enough to bury your top prospect , the Pirates would be too cheap to resign or extend him anyways.
