The Diamondbacks farm system is a whole bunch of meh right now.

Outside of Tyler Skaggs, most of their players are either not very good prospects to begin with, or are posting pretty mediocre numbers. I also imagine the D’Backs are probably not about to ship a whole bunch of prospects to the A’s for a pitcher again; the Haren trade set their organization back quite a bit.

was downright stupid.

I'm not sure I want anyone from the DBacks farm system in exchange for Gio.

We still haven't gotten anything out of the Haren trade

except a couple nice half seasons from Brett Anderson.

That's ridiculous.

Greg Smith and Dana Eveland gave us very serviceable seasons that year. Matt Holliday gave us a half season of a very good bat. Cunningham turned into Kouzmanoff, and gave us some nice value last year. And the rest is still in the minors.
