How did that work out for them and Clevinger. They knew(as did the 29 other teams) that he was damaged goods and they gave away 3 top prospects for him and BOOM, 3 starts in he needs Tommy John.



So because it didn't work, it was stupid?

It's nice to be armed with hindsight, huh?

There is a difference in being aggressive and being stupid. The Padres were the latter, I really wouldn't be using them as an example to make your point.

Everyone in the SD org.knew about his elbow. Either they ignored the advanced medicals or the advanced medicals weren't done at all. Either way, they are both firable offenses and just blatant ignorance on the part of the Padres.

There is a reason that the other 29 teams said "no, thanks."

Just take the "L" here and move on. Would we all like to see the Braves do a little more? Sure. But using Clevinger/SD as a case study is a losing proposition.

And this OS has been pretty quiet so far, for everyone.
