[Stavie Steelo]

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst Latest Garza tidbit: "Very high chance" he gets traded, says one exec. Jays have been bearing down on him.

Well, massive upside does not equal Johnny Bench in today's day and age. He has the potential to be a starter in the league with above average numbers. That, for a catcher, is massive upside.

So, borderline first division starter = massive? That's some delusion, man.

Brewers bullpen needs some Pedro Cerrano levels of exorcism right now. They're all inexplicably terrible

He's filler. Vizcaino is the big get. #2 Braves prospect last year before TJ. Huge upside, great gamble for how little they gave up.

[DooDooBird]

Vizcaino did a nice job out of the bullpen for the Braves last year. Not a bad trade for the Cubs. The Braves did good as well.

[Stavie Steelo]

Wonder if they will use him out of the pen or as a starter. Hopefully starter since we have none.
