As a Brewer fan, losing Nelson Cruz was the part of the Lee trade i didn't like. I understand that MLB is a buisness, and that the Brewers weren't going to be able to afford to keep Lee (especially after he turned down 4yrs/48mil), so trading him became an inevitability. But Nelson Cruz was our top minor league prospect, and i assumed that he would be getting a call-up once Lee was traded. The fact that we lost our best offensive player and our top OF prospect in the same deal kinda stings.
