    I'd have done it in a heartbeat. Getting Hunter back from the DL lessens the blow of losing Ichiro, and make no mistake, Johnson is a stud, and will help you down the stretch.

    Good move.

    Here's the thing about pitching this late in the season. They only have at most seven starts left.

    If this were a trade that took place a lot earlier in the season then I would say good deal, but in a head-2-head league where everyday matters just as much as the next. I say you may have given up too much for a guy that plays once a week.
