God, are you serious Hastings? Crawford was a better value than Kinsler pre Kinsler injury! You could have gotten more. Insert burning off Isildur1's money joke here.
In 2 seasons of playing with Stinger, this is the single worst thing I have seen him do.
When moving a high profile player like Crawford, it is almost always a good idea to do some shopping around.
Crawford's a moderate trade risk. Probably not so long as the Rays are having a good year, but it's only April, and Crawford's on a one-year deal. If they slip, or suffer injuries, Crawford could fetch some pretty good prospects, and the Rays have Desmond Jennings to plug in. I think the Rays are a serious contender, but you never know.
