The Lowe/Varitek one is worse in hindsight. The Soriano one was worse overall because it was quite obvious that it was a stupid trade.Quote:

But it wasn't a bad trade, not even in hindsight. We traded him something like 1996 or something, then he gets good 6 years later. Awesome 7 years later, I would make that trade 10times out of 10. Hollins was a great player off the bench. Who would know that 7 years later Ortiz is one of the best 1st baseman in baseball. Shoot, even Minnesota didn't know 5 years later...Quote:

The Seattle Mariners sent a player to be named later to the Minnesota Twins for Dave Hollins. The Seattle Mariners sent David Ortiz (September 13, 1996) to the Minnesota Twins to complete the trade.
December 16, 2002: Released by the Minnesota Twins.
January 22, 2003: Signed as a Free Agent with the Boston Red Sox.
Well, that's what I'm saying. Nobody knew that Ortiz would become one of the best hitters in the game, which is why, only when viewed in hindsight, does the trade look foolish.
lol and im an Angels fans. So im a little upset but happy to see my team win. Talk about mixed feelings.:pQuote:

Woohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah. Gotta love outscoring a team by over 20 runs. :) Love that 1-hit gem from Cone.
I feel bad for the team that has to face the 2001 M's in the 2nd round. They're an absolute JUGGERNAUT! Only team to sweep the series so far.
Yea well we did something no NCAA Men's Basketball Team has done in March Madness. The worst (32) beating the best (1). Which was essentially 16 beating a 1 seed.
