The guy has been lights out! Any other Cubs fans starting to feel sour about the trade....?

I thought this same thingRizzo isn't too shabby and still three years younger. Looks like a good trade for both sides IMO
I'm pretty sure the Cubs are happy with a solid every day 1B who is only 24 years old,I'm pretty sure the Cubs wish they had Cashner back considering their staff.

in exchange for a 27 year old pitcher with a 16-20 career record over 5 seasons.

He has had one full season so far with a sub 4.00 eraYes because wins is how we should measure pitcher's abilities. Kind of hard to have a winning record when you've pitched for two crappy teams (Cubs & Padres).
My biggest issue with the Cubs and Cashner is how they dicked him around, moving him between the bullpen and the rotation and back and forth, etc. It is the worst thing you can do to any pitcher, and of course he kept having arm injuries. I can understand the trade from not sides, and with Cashner's injury history (which I blame the idiot cubs for), I get why Theo and Jed would make the trade. I can see this trade still working out very well for both sides in the long run. Note, I invested in Cashner and really didn't want the Cubs to move him when they did. I am much more upset about the Cubs giving away both Josh Hamilton (yes the cubs had him and traded him to the reds for nothing) and Josh Donaldson. It hurts to imagine where the Cubs would be if they didn't screw both of those up....
I love how defensive the Cubs fans get. The Cubs badly need pitching and Cashner would provide a solid 1-2 punch with Smardzija. That young power hitting 1b doesn't do you any good when the rotation and the bullpen are getting shelled for major runs every game.
