interesting read. the sabathia trade was a complete lopsided deal but the bedard and colon deals did better for the dealing team.
Hawaiian pizza is good.

Cleveland got back Matt Laporta(their number two prospect) who looks like a stud, he was tearing up AAA but his defence needs to improve.

LaPorta for Sabathia isn't lobsided for a rental player, which Sabathia ended up being. Cleveland got back a stud prospect in LaPorta who hasn't really been given a chance at a full time gig by Eric Wedge.
