I don't think the relevant point of comparison is just Hicks-Rosario. That's part of it, since it's a bit convenient to claim Rosario was a lock to improve (and while we're at it, to claim Rosario has permanently turned a corner.) It's also Hicks-Grossman, or Hicks-Granite. Or Hicks-Adrainza-in-leftfield. Or Hicks-DannySantana. Hicks in center field when Buxton isn't there, which lets you keep Rosario and Kepler in the lineup, in their normal corner spots. Hicks DH'ing instead of Escobar, for example. Hicks would have been a pretty nice piece to have on the team, this year and going forward. What the **** was TR thinking? Awful trade, which looked pretty bad at the time.
