From what I heard of Ramsey you hate to lose him. I think a few things that came into play on this was A) his name isn't Tavaras and B) as an outfielder he was going to have a hard time getting up here with all the other guys we have in line trying to stay here.

I hope it works. Heard the same thing you said about how durable a guy Masterson is and though he's off this year he was "on" pretty good LAST year.

I was half relieved to hear it was this deal instead of some of the other potential rumored blockbuster moves involving us tradingg Tavaras or Shelby or both for the overpriced past-their-prime "stars" on the market.
