The well known definition of insanity would seem to apply here. Running this back with the same players will likely get the same result. Imai is a necessary addition. You don’t give up any prospects and you get at least a #3 starter and probably more. I don’t understand the big deal even if the get Donovan. His 10 hr’s and 50 rbi over almost 500 ab’s isn’t more than we can get from Schmidt (12 hr’s and 40 rbi’s in only 312 ab’s last year). If you don’t go out and get a good starting pitcher, what was the point of getting and paying big money for Chapman, Adames and Devers?
