Wow... has Johnson's market value dropped that low?

Posted By Tim A.

Jordan, Torrealba and a 1st round FA pick (#22 overall) for Randy Johnson, Jeff Conine and a 6th round FA pick.

Hard for me to believe that someone thinks this is a reasonable offer for Johnson.

Just a weak ago I was looking for pitching and had a guy offering me Johnson and basically wanted a package of Koskie, A.J. Burnett, and a late rookie #1 (I think 19th). I thought it was a very high price given Johnson's age, Koskie's contributions (I think he is very under-rated), and Burnett's youth and potential. But I really wanted the impact starter and had bodies to burn so I rolled over and gave him Koskie, Matt Morris, and RK#1 even though I thought I was paying too much.

To hear that folks think Johnson is worth Jordan and a FA#1 is hard to take because I think Koskie alone is worth more than Jordan and the FA #1
