I think it is a decent trade. Fister is definitely a vast improvement over what we had at the 5 slot and maybe an improvement over Penny. I see him as hopefully = to Scherzer and Porcello as a true #3 starter. But we still do not have a #2 in our Rotation.
My complaint is this move was just to make the playoffs not win a Championship. If they could have picked up Shields maybe Ubaldo(not entirely sold on him) it would have put them in the Red Sox / Yankees caliber of team in my opinion.
Currently we are probably the 4th best AL team and there is a big gap between us and the top 3.

Because quite frankly I don't want to see any one else wear that # or jersey.
Ozzie should be in the hall. 10th in wins all time. 400+ club.
