Yeah, can't really disagree with @hrubes20 here. O'Neil will always have his fair share of swing and miss to his game, but the power will play in the majors without a doubt. I also think he's underrated defensively. BB% has taken a step in the right direction the last couple years as well. 

Clear win for the Cards just based off upside here. O'Neil may not hit enough to make use of his power, but that risk is easily worth Gonzales. Hate this deal.

That's where I am with this deal.  I haven't seen enough of O'Neill to feel like I'm making a fair evaluation, but given where Gonzales is right now and the future of the rotation I'm more than okay with this deal.

I think O'Neill would've been a perfect replacement, at least, for Cruz, and I'm not really trusting Haniger at this point. K's will always be there for O'Neill, but Mariners definitely overpaid for an unproven commodity with possibly the most sought after prospect in our system, due to how close he is.
