Yeah, the bullpens across the league aren't as good in recent years so this is a nice sudden luxury. Love that Hicks could set up Romano, which is what the plan should've been in the off-season (to get someone like that as a setup man). I don't have a complaint of the prospects given up in this case as it does seem to be par for the course for a guy like Hicks but holy hell, Atkins and Shapiro shouldn't ever have chastised Antholopolis about giving up prospects. These did exactly the same when push came to shove, only Alex got further.
