And the 'throw in' former first round pick as the PTBNL (don't recall his name) is pitching well in the low minors as well; seems right on track to be what you'd expect from a first rounder.
I remember thinking the deal was one-sided even when I expected the PTBNL to be some organizational roster filler like they usually are. Then it turned out to be your 1st rounder from the year before (like a top 15 pick, IIRC); a genuine top 100 prospect.
And just laaaaaaughed and laaaughed and laughed. For Chris "sure my ERA sucks but man my xFIP is pretty" Archer.
Not a great deal. Not a great deal at all.
