Oh yeah Bauer was a part of that trade. I forgot it was a three team trade. I was mostly comparing bats. Bauer worked out well.
Yeah I remember Bauer was a semi-unknown. When the trade happened, it seemed bad. I read up in Bauer and was immediately flipped and though we fleeced another team. Mostly because he was such a high pick and thought of prospect, just Arizona wasn’t willing to let him be himself in terms of preparation. I figured if Tribe was, we had a potential Ace. He honestly never became as good as I was hoping, but with Kluber he wasn’t needed quite as much.
