Anal Hershiser receives:

Moose is Lose receives:
Danny Valencia, Al Albuquerque, Tyler Clippard, Josh Reddick, 4th, 7th rounders
It was a lot to give up in terms of draft pick compensation, but no question this was a great move for the 2011 Anal team. He traded four guys who really belonged on the waiver wire and secured his 3B position (as secure as the up and down Reynolds can be), while picking up a solid bench player in Frenchy and two closers , which gives him one of the best bullpens in the league (with BWilson and Feliz). With the Avila trade, this is a pretty balanced offense. Andy has a few great SPs (Verlander, Haren, Cueto, potentially Strasburg) and a Who’s Who of guys whose name you might’ve not known before the season but have performed well (Vogelsong, Moseley, Worley, Collmenter, Beavan, and Humber), so this could either go very well or end very quickly for the newcomer. Sitting in 5th place, this has undoubtedly been a positive inaugural season for the Hershisers.
