If this is directed at me, I am not quite sure why. If you look at the output of both Reyes and Cano last year, Cano actually had a better year. Defensively Aurillia rated better then Reyes did. Throw in Gordon, and i think i got a hell of a deal. Now my team did get a lot older, but if it brings me closer to winning a title next year and not 5 years from now, I am all for it. With that being said, I am willing to part with Gordon, as i already have a closer in Street. Hit me up if you think i am a sucker.

Jose Reyes is an emerging star and already one of the best SS that still has tons of potential to develop. Cano yea hes solid but SS is harder to find then 2B. Plus Aurilla is a joke and Gordon doesnt got much left.

Aurilia hit .300 with 20hr's last season and plays every position in the INF. For a win now league, you need guys like that.
Cano hit .342, and is rated better defensively than Reyes. SS is hard to find than 2B, that's where Gordon came in.
I've gotten several offers for Gordon, so I know he has some value, and Oak could flip him into something decent.
I think it was a good deal for both, and one I could definitely afford to make since I had 4 2b and Aurilia as my only SS.
Now with Reyes in the house, whose interested in Brignac?
I could combine him with Benji Molina for a C upgrade.
Also looking for past-present-future Mets players.

Do we have a TRC? If not does anyone think there should be one?

No we do not have a Trade Committee, and I for one like not having one. As Rich has stated in the past, we are all adults and can make any trades we want as long as both GM's agree...bottom line. We really should bash anyone's trades...this is a different league than others I participate in (meaning no TRC, winning now vs later). IMO

And this whole time I was thinking I may have overpayed in the deal.

Do we have a TRC? If not does anyone think there should be one? i agree, i think this trade is absurd but thats just me. how you can deal the best positional player and the best pitcher in the deal and only net rich aurlia is beyond me.

Your rotation aint awful, but look at that lineup. Who the f**k is Pete Orr, Jason Smith, John Hattig?

Did you miss the whole "Jose Reyes" part? He is by FAR the better player to Cano, he plays a tougher position and is just a better player across the board. there's no comparing Reyes to Cano.
So he downgrades twice, and gets Rich Aurilia. NICE!

For all of you bagging on this trade, come over when the Twins do and you can all pet my monkey. Not one of you made it as far as I did in the playoffs last year. Which is proven. Not until you can prove with facts that your a better GM do i want to hear another dribble from your cake holes.
