Jobu cut a top 100 offensive player 11 times! 7 different players (Ibanez and Bradley twice, Votto 3 times). Aubrey Huff was the highest ranked player cut (26), but really, who DIDN'T cut Huff before 6/1? Trading one top 15 player (Berkman) for 2 top 15 players (Beltran and Sabathia) is usually a good move, even if it costs a #1. Heading into 2008, Jobu had all 3 CI positions occupied by Grade A studs (Pujols, Braun, Berkman). Now, losing Berkman and Braun's 3B eligibility, Jobu has a mess of OF to choose from (Beltran, Braun, Kemp, B. Young, Dunn Hart). If Jobu can replicate this offense in 09, he'll be in very good shape.
