Even this year, > with his homers, he still is only batting .235. Big flippin' deal. He's having his career year for cryin' out loud. Never had more than 16 homers in a season before and even now, with 26, he only has 64 RBI. He wouldn't have made much of a difference really IMHO.

From: bismotwitter on 23 Jul 2010 18:57 @Gary: Useful players Theo got for lesser prospects: Walker, Williamson, Schil, Roberts, Myers, Graffanino, Stanton, Gagne (ugh),
From: bismotwitter on 23 Jul 2010 18:58 @Gary: I reiterate, teams out of the race trade useful players for lesser prospects year after year. It's very common.

@Gary: Gammons said Bautista deal was later in the season--I believe it was August. I just tweeted it as interesting; I'm not mad about it. |
