Enjoy St. Louis, Raf.

I've been sad ever since I woke up yesterday morning to check the trade news. Not a shock, probably a good move, still completely bummed.

I hope Dee pans out. He's exciting to watch, no doubt. But, from what I've seen so far, he's not ready from a hitting perspective.

Nope. But the only thing that will help that is experience, and now is the perfect time go gain that experience. Maybe he never will get there. The only way to know is experience.

Furcal was going to be needed to be replaced sooner rather than later. So the sooner they find out of Dee can be that replacement, the better.
