I still like the Gray trade, but I'm probably the most overly optimistic guy on Gray here. Fitts was close to his ceiling in this org and didn't develop the way Tolle or Early did. Maybe the Cards can get more out of him. Clarke barely pitched last season and he seems like more of a bullpen arm to me than a starter. I didn't have a problem with the trade.
If Breslow wanted, he could still manufacture a trade of prospects to acquire Paredes or someone else. I think he just might not want to for some reason.
