To me, the Sox were trying to compete this year and Priester was supposedly 6th or 7th on the depth chart going into the year. Is that really a guy you want to trade if you are serious about contending? It was good value, but not really a complete slam dunk considering the other prospects included in the deal and how advanced of a prospect Priester was. In a vacuum, it's a good trade. In this season, maybe not.
