Such a great deal for the Rockies, IF Anderson stays healthy.

That's a huge if

MAJOR! The guy is broken, and I highly doubt he is going to ever be fully healthy again. There is a reason he keeps breaking down over and over, and this is from someone who was heavily invested in him at one time.

I love that Oaklan can get its hands on Pomeranz and fix him. I think Oakland did great

I would've loved for the Yanks to pursue Anderson as I thought he was pretty low risk high reward.

Nice pick up for both sides with Pomeranz going to the A's.

I totally agree, first A's move this off-season I've liked at all.

And as much as I'll be rooting for him, I think Anderson is alot more like Rich Harden with great flashes but too many injuries than you'd want to have and Colorado is NOT where any pitcher goes to turn around his career...
