I heard scuttlebutt, when the deal first went down, that Dennis Dove was one of the pitchers listed.

And Lambert has show some potential, just not above A+ really, which is why what Boston will want makes me worry a little.

I really am surprised that Detroit got that much. Granted, he would have been released in the off season, I just hope this isn't a sign of the PTBNL to Boston. Pineiro light years better results than Maroth, so hopefully won't lose a prospect light years ahead of Lambert.

But I do agree not a large loss at all and Maroth has the potential as well even if he isn't playing to it right now. Watch him next year get called up and do good for the tiggers.
