Yeah, I didn't really give away anything I needed. I had a glut of prospects from trading, I traded away 2 SS (one was almost at his peak), 2 C, and an SP. Playing as the White Sox, I already had Tim Anderson at SS, and I had a better C prospect I didn't trade. The SP was valuable, but still was a risk as to whether he would fully develop, while the 2 pitchers I received were already very good and the only thing my team really needed. That gave me 4 good pitchers and pretty good 5th pitcher that had high potential.
