I think that it is notable I just don't see it as being a negative thing in any way. Pitching is so unpredictable that more often than not it is a case of being damned if you do or don't. Sale is for sure an ace. I bet we all agree on that one. As much as I like Porcello, I'm not going to say that that signing was a stroke of genius. Who knew that we had a potential MVP with that sign. I don't know whether DD will wind up proving to be better or worse than anyone else who has done his job. What I do know, is that I like a GM who addresses needs and isn't afraid to make moves that he thinks will give his team a chance to win.
