    I like this move, no premier guys given up, (Nottingham is going to be good but he's not the big name I expected us to trade) tells me Luhnow was reluctant to sell the farm for a rental.

    I really, really like Nottingham but this is a good deal for us. Having depth in the system is huge.

    Sad to lose Nottingham & Mengden but like this trade for both teams. Exciting times :)

    Yes. He's a UFA next season.

    I think Kaz is pretty much a lock to resign with the us, though.

    Nottingham is going to be a very good player.

    I am not a big fan of this trade, but they know Nottingham better than I do.

    Kazmir is a huge boost to the rotation.

    Fantastic trade. I really like both pieces, but we're gonna have to give up something to get something. Glad the price wasn't higher. Kaz! Lets go!

    Is Keuchel-Kazmir-McCullers the best 1-2-3 in the AL?

    He's from Houston and we are loaded with young talent. Why wouldn't he?

    Yup, this is my initial reaction to the trade as well. I thought Nottingham was going to be our catcher of the future, but it turns out that I was wrong.

    For now... but since he's from Houston, he's more likely to re-up.

    When does he start? Hopefully taking Feldman's spot this weekend.
