If Porcello continues his constant year to year improvement, you could have a frontline starter for years to come. He came to Detroit as a 20 year old and has improved every year. For over half of 2014 season he was actually the best pitcher on the Tiger staff. Like the rest of the team he slipped the rest of the season. But he could be the best player in the trade and only about to turn 26. I hated to see him go. If you have a good coaching staff in Boston to keep him on the track of constant improvement, you'll be very happy. I think you got the better of the trade--by far.
