I have convinced myself that this is actually a pretty damn good deal. We essentially traded our unwanted crap for their top BP prospect and saved money doing so.
y u do dis?

Homer:
My first split second reaction to the trade was negative because I wasn't expecting a reliever in return, and Capps 2013 stats look pretty bad. But after looking at more info - namely his pitching arsenal, minor league stats, age, Height/weight, and high regard among young relievers - I see this as a very good move for us. Our bullpen looks stellar at the moment, backing up really good young starting pitchers. Instead of filling in short term holes, we added to our strength (young pitching depth) and saved over $1mil in doing so.
Good move by the FO, in my opinion.

I do agree that either now or in July is the perfect time to trade Cishek. I'd personally keep him until the July trade deadline. Teams suffering from a poor bullpen will throw some MUCH better prospects at the Marlins if Cishek is putting up another sub 3 ERA season than the team would get right now. Desperate teams make for more desperate offers.

Just a side thought about the majority of moves we've made in the past year: there is a definite underlying direction / strategical underpinning to all the moves - they've been made in concert with one another. This is something I can't say we've had maybe ever. The moves seem tailored to a 3 to 5 year window rather than a "win now" or "sell off all" mentality. It's refreshing and I'm hopeful for the next few years if we continue along this path.STANTON

I like Weeks and I believe he's coming off an injury, with 2 years (?) left on his contract.
He has a lot of upside, and may not cost too much. If he's willing to play 3B, I'll take him.
