Cubs Send Aaron Kurcz to Red Sox to Still Not Complete Theo
Compensation  Back when Chris Carpenter was announced as being
sent over to the Boston Red Sox for Theo Epstein, I mentioned
that the deal still can't properly be evaluated because there
were still 2 players to be named later involved. There was some
talk that it was just a logistic move, that the Red Sox had to
send a player  to the Cubs besides an executive and the two
players would be non-news. Well that turned out to be B.S. Today
the Cubs announced they're sending RHP Aaron Kurcz to the Red
Sox and we still don't know who the Cubs are getting. Temples
were built in less time.  As for Kurcz, he's hardly a nobody, a
matter of fact I was going to put him around #15 on my prospect
list I was hoping to get out for Monday. He was a teammate of
Bryce Harper at College of Southern Nevada, but beyond that
coincidence, he's a 21-year old power righty reliever with a 9.9
whiff rate to go with a 3.7 BB/9 ratio. He might not be the
quality of Chris Carpenter
