That wasn't really my point, Jackass. Let me clarify: I just think that the tone and tenor of the comments pertaining to Tsao on this board were a little over the top; as though the Rockies had inexplicably non-tendered a future ace or back of the bullpen stud. That's simply not the case, Herges or no Herges. Fair enough?
It's sort of like the Jennings trade in that the people who rushed to slam it were nowhere to be found when Hirsh started off hot, Taveras had an OBP of .385 and Buchholz was providing a little shot in the arm in a hybrid role while Jennings was sitting on the DL.
Whether that trade, or the non-tendering of Tsao, was a good move can only be ascertained in the long run. People seem to be in a rush to judgment unless the short-term results don't support their beliefs...in which case, they're happy to wait for the first turn of events that does and make a snap judgment in that moment in time. It just seems silly to me, that's all.
