Martinez was too much for this 32 year old quirky reliever. Bowker could still be a very good major leaguer if given a chance. Fred Lewis is doing quite well, much better than Aaron Rowand, almost as good as Andres Torres, Frandsen not doing too poorly, and now giving away Martinez was too much for lopez, throwing in Bowker is insane, unless we get back Garrett Jones? Is Sabean trying to make amends for the Jason Schmidt deal. Sabean makes trades for spite. Not just good business. The Molina deal gave him a reprieve but this deal, unless we are missing part of the deal that hasn't been reported is nuts.

Nothing lost, possible one or two good arms gained.

I suppose so....if you think it's more important that Fresno wins a championship instead of the SF Giants. Jim |
