Did we hate that trade?  They traded a non-dominant soon to be 30-year old reliever for a minor leaguer with three last names.  What is there to hate?  

The reaction to the trade suggested that it was an example of how terrible Avila was that he didn't get more for Fulmer's services.

Avila sat on a valuable asset - a young, cost controlled starter, ROY, All Star - until injuries set in and that asset became a middling, old, blah reliever. If GL joins Wentz and Olsen in the 4th to 8th starter roles, great! Avila perhaps got a useful piece yet again.

Fulmer just another example of Avila's failure to maximize his assets.

Remember he also traded another part of the past time big 3 rotation (Fulmer, 'Norris' & Boyd) for ROlson as well 😉.
