At least Barnes has command of his fastball and some MPH. That makes him a better prospect than virtually every other prospect starter we have short of RDLR and Owens. Give the guy some time to develop better off speed stuff. Even just a good cutter could make a huge difference. Eduardo Rodriguez should be above Barnes too, but agree otherwise You are probably right but I just can't bring myself to think the Orioles would trade that kind of value for a short term rental of Miller. Maybe they just didn't see him being that good OR they just were desperate to win this year. Maybe some of both but I look at Rodriguez with caution. www.camdenchat.com/2014/8/1/5957003/orioles-trade-andrew-miller-eduardo-rodriguez-who-won |

They didn't trade that kind of value for a short term rental. They traded that kind of value for an improved chance of advancing in the playoffs, there's a difference. |

Also, Rodriguez has been a vastly improved pitcher since the trade. It's possible that the Sox cleaned something up.
