Just fine by me - he'll do well again in the desert, and get #300 as a Dback. We gave up basically nothing for him, and the Yanks are paying part of the salary.

We'll see about that...

January 5, 2007 -- The Yankees hope they have something similar to Chien-Ming Wang in young Ross Ohlendorf, the pitcher they targeted in the Randy Johnson deal with the Diamondbacks.

"This kid is special," explained a National League scout last night. The scout has closely watched the development of Ohlendorf, 24, a sinkerballer, like Wang. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound right-hander struck out 125 batters and walked only 29 last year in the minors as he posted a 10-8 record with a 3.29 ERA at Double-A Tennessee and a 0-0 mark with a 1.28 ERA at Triple-A Tucson.

"He's a tough kid, a smart kid," the scout said of the former Princeton star. "He got over 1,500 on his SATs."
The Diamondbacks thought highly of Ohlendorf, too, but to get Johnson, they thought the gamble was worth it.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!

So now we're down to disecting his SAT scores to determine his athletic ability? xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

Let's put it this way: Johnson will get 35 more victories in the next two years than this kid. He may turn out to be the next Roger Clemens, but I'd still rather have Johnson as the #4 starter than about 90% of the pitchers in the league. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :nod: :nod: :nod:

As a Dodger fan, I'll enjoying seeing the Big, Ugly, Old Unit facing my team a half-dozen times this season.

[dbackjon]

Trade is looking pretty good for the Dback's right now.

Last three games for the Big Unit, he has gone 2-0, 28 K's in 17.2 innings, giving up 5 Earned runs in that stretch.

And the Yanks could sure use him...

The Yanks could use anyone right now, including several commentators announcing their gamesxlolx
