In exchange for two class A pitchers. A nice bullpen arm to supplement Linebrink and Hoffman. I like. ;-D

Should be a nice add. Having Williamson - Linebrink - Hoffman is nasty.

Good trade for the Padres. This was I guy I wanted Ricciardi to target until he got Accardo last night(a better reliever, IMO with potential for more in the future).

The two prospects are Fabian Jimenez and Joel Santo:

Jimenez and Santo, Towers said, "are a long ways away. They're fringe prospects, but you never know. We felt some of the other pitchers in our system were closer to the big leagues."

Jimenez is 5-7 with a 4.43 ERA in 17 starts at Fort Wayne. He has struck out 54 and walked 52 in 87 1/3 innings.

Santo is 6-6 with a 5.38 ERA in 20 games, 15 as a starter. He's 20-29 with a 4.92 ERA in 87 career Minor League appearances, 72 as a starter.

Those 2 were the best the Cubs could get for Williamson? :-o

Haha, I know our farm system yet I had never heard of Jimenez. Williamson's career numbers are pretty stellar and Bochy has a long track history of success with bullpen arms. Adding this arm to the bullpen with the best WHIP and save percentage in the NL can only be a good thing. Good work KT. Now get us a third-baseman. ;-D

The Reds would have given up Adam Dunn for Williamson.

Somehow I don't think that that is true.

The Phillies would have given up Flash Gordon for Williamson.
