Do you still consider that Garza deal a great deal? Probably depends on how Archer ends up panning out, doesn't it? It was a lot for the Cubs to give up at the time but I'm not sure they are really going to regret giving up any of the players they sent over in that deal. Archer has some promise and maybe has the upside ceiling of Garza but he's always had some pretty major control issues. Way too many walks. If he can't get past that he isn't going to make it long term in the majors. Hak-Ju Lee is a nice glove with some speed in the middle infield but not at all special, IMO. If Garza stays healthy and pitches well when he comes back (should be back in under 2 weeks now) they'll be able to flip him and get a couple of decent prospects in return. May not be quite the caliber of an Archer Hak-Ju Lee combo but probably not terribly far off.Tampa isn't giving Price away for that little package. They got a solid deal for Kazmir and 2 great deals for Shields and Garza. Price will fetch more than they did.
