Most here know that I disagree with the move, but regardless we all hope that it works out. Many of us have doubts due to the signings of the Eppler's era.
Some of Eppler's moves that failed us
Cozart
Cahill
Harvey
Upton
Kinsler
Lincecum
Maybin
Bailey
Allen
Espinosa (we traded 2 prospects that are in MLB that hurts the soul)
Phillips
The list is much longer, no point to add to the point proven.
I hope that Rendon does not add to this list.
