I said before the trade happened that I wanted Castellanos more, but I thought Turner was more attainable, and this proves it. I'm not complaining. I'm just as happy with Turner, and we got a catcher to match up with Realmuto for the future starting catcher spot. Love this trade given I don't believe we were going to sign Anibal long term for a reasonable price, and Infante is a dime a dozen.

rob brantly's split stats weren't very steep:

.283/.327/.408/.735 v.s. RHP
.262/.318/.335/.653 v.s. LHP
Seems they've been hiding him from LHP. Was left off Detroit's top 20 from John Sickel's pre season with a C rating. In regards to Flynn:
8) Brian Flynn, LHP, Grade C+: Big lefty out of Wichita State (seventh round) showed more polish than expected to go with his 90-95 MPH fastball.
Rob Rasmussen replacement it seems

I'm also a bit sad to see Infante go because his contract is so incredibly team friendly and provides a real good deal of value. He's a ~3 WAR 2b who's getting paid like a ~1 WAR 2b.
But as they saying goes, better to lose a guy one year too early than one year too late. Perfect storm of him performing above his career norm offensively and detroit REALLY needing a 2b so his value in trade was at the highest. I think losing him hurts us in 2013, but it helps us more long term cuz he would not have as much value next year in a trade or he'd walk for nothing

Let it go, brochacho.
