exactly FCC, pena is good, but he is no savior. IMO, He was the 3rd best prospect in our organization behind Blaylock and Tex. In essence, we traded our "#1 prospect" for the A's #1, 2, 9 and 12th rated prospects according to last season's Baseball America. Not a bad deal in my eyes. Don't forget about the power hitting 1st baseman, a CFer with good power and D, and a very good defensive Catcher that we picked up as well. All of them are at a very high level (AA or AAA), and all of them have produced in lower levels.
