Agreed, I think.
If Pomeranz becomes a key figure in some Sox teams, doesn't that alone make the trade worthwhile? Even if Espinoza wins 3 Cy Young's in SD, I can't look back at this deal and decide Pomeranz wasn't worth it and want to give back any pennants or titles. The fact is, highly regarded or not, Espinoza was always a longshot to live up to his potential, like all A-ball prospects are. The biggest question mark in this deal to me was Pomeranz, and so far his addition has been extremely positive...
