arguably however, we ought to have known that a little earlier (like months ago) so that we could have explored other trade options instead of making a deal essentially at gunpoint...
maybe we did, maybe we didn't, but from the scuttlebutt it sure seems like NYR was the only other team we talked to and that just started up today...

Why would you think that we would get anything better than a late first round pick or a couple of Second round picks for him (along with a prospect).
Erixon is not a sure thing ... he definitely isn't a dominate presence like Phanuef was when he showed up.
Erixon was not playing himself onto the roster at rookie camp.
