No that assumes that we could have signed him for the same value the market will set, but even without it, it assumes that Berrios would have given us the rest of this year and all of next year with better results than any other pitcher we have or will get.  He did just pitch six shut out innings for Toronto.  It also assumes that if we had kept him we would still have gotten an extra draft choice so in reality we gained one prospect and lost 40 starts. 

Realize this is very old, but extra draft choices are a total crap shoot.  And yes it WAS assuming he was willing to resign with the Twins which he clearly wasn't.
