Do ya think Minaya'd like to have this guy back?

12-6 with a 3.16 ERA in the AL and for one of the worst teams in baseball. Not exactly the best trade of all time.

wasnt much room for him

he was trying to devolop pelfrey and hummer, i guess they both didnt pan out.

Glavine
Pedro
Maine
Perez
El Duque

post season rotation will be interesting, i guess pedro will have to work himself in. Perez and Maine are the only ones that can go past 6 innings

I think its a little early to make a decision on pelfrey and Humber.

we'll see. Minaya has done so great trades through

Nady for Perez and Hernedez (relief)
Benson for Maine and Lugo
Lugo for El Duque
Seo for Sanchez(DL)

and hell i might be wrong about Alou (as long as hes helthy in the post season)

we always knew alou was gonna hit when healthy.

Bannister will recieve a nice paycheck

definitely

forgot who we trade him for. was suppose to be a fireball relief pitcher. didnt pan put, but we definitely need help in the pen

He will be in the mix for rookie of the year.

Has 12 wins for a team that is 23rd of 30 in MLB.

Best ERA for a rookie.

I was lukewarm about this trade initially because I saw his potential in his first few starts before getting hurt last year. But, was convinced by the reports that we were better off with a better BP with with very high reward potential from Burgos.

In a year we have been struggling and in need of that "one more" starting pitcher, we could have used him.......he is also a very good hitter (.300+ hitter potential)

i sympathize. trading good young pitchers for nothing, is a brian sabean specialty.
