"Baseball's weird" -- Buster Posey

Posey set the tone in Spring Training: defense, pitching and smart baseball. Overlooked: the intangibles. They are finding ways to win.

This trade is a little reminiscent of the Zach Wheeler for Carlos Beltran trade in 2011. Not quite an apples-to-apples comparison since Beltran was essentially a rental and Kyle Harrison might not quite match the potential of Wheeler. Beltran almost immediately landed on the I.L. That was disaster.

I do have concerns losing Harrison. And can Devers accept giving up third base to Chapman's better glove? He had problems with that in Boston.
