Aftermath from the Hardy for Gomez Trade
Right Field Bleachers — This was a shocking trade and I have not really made up my mind on the trade. Some RFB’ers have said that they like the trade.

Brewerfan believes that Gomez won’t be able to match Cameron ...

Milwaukee Brewers Blog - Bernie's Crew — Honorable Mention #2:  "The Brewers asked for either Clay Buchholz or Daniel Bard, two prized young pitchers the Red Sox wouldn't part with.
