Thanks for the correction.

If Lyon gets the closers gig in 2008, then of course he probably ends up a type A.

In either case, two A's and a B, or if it becomes 3 A's, the D backs need the picks.

You are preaching to the choir about Haren. I think he'll be fine. He's thrown 662 innings the last 3 years with a composite ERA of 3.64.  For me, for the NEXT 3 years, anything over 600 innings and under 4 ERA would be a success, and I'd be happy with the results of the trade. I'm pretty confident he WILL achieve at least that level of success.   But make no mistake, the  D Backs gave up a lot of talent and value for him, and he needs to deliver the goods to make the trade work.

As far as dragging Conor Jackson into it, you and I both know what the dynamic is, so don't pretend. My point about what a difference a year makes was clearly in relation to the COMPOSITION of the top 10-20 lists.  The D backs promoted most of their top hitting prospects, and traded a few others, and now their lists is made up primarily of pitchers.  Thats clearly what I was talking about.

But somehow you found a way to inject your negativity and hatred of Conor Jackson into the discussion.  Surprise  surprise. After reading your hateful attacks and diatribes against Jackson for over 2 years now, don't expect anyone who actually knows who you are to believe you just happened upon that comparison as an example about the relative value of prospects or how perceptions of players change. You were just hatin on CJ again, like you always do.  Don't quite know how expressing this hatred everywhere you go, albeit in subtle ways, enhances yours or anyone elses life. I guess you will just have to figure out what your motives are for yourself.

Feel free to keep stalking  me around the internet and posting rebuttals to anything I post, as you have been lately.  But this will be the last response you ever get from me here or anywhere else. Your game is played out.
