Eww. James Shields is overrated as hell. Aside from last year, his ERAs have been: 4.84, 3.85, 3.56, 4.14, 5.18, 4.39. Now don't get me wrong, I'd take that over some of the slop we're putting out there now *here's lookin' at you Derek Lowe* but I wouldn't give up the farm to get him. At least his contract is reasonable though.
I've always liked james sheilds a lot and i think he'd be quietly a great pick up, similar to the doug fister trade. He's got good command of all of his pitches, (8.5 K9/ 2.7 BB9) has a nack for winning big games, and is on pace to pitch 200+ innings for the 6th straight year. I can't see him costing a whole hell of a lot either. Im for it.
