Billy Beane gets owned by the Reds.

July 2003: Reds get Aaron Harang, Jeff Bruksch (who cares), Joe Valentine (who cares). A's get Jose Guillen for 170 ABs.

Jim Hendry rarely gets credit for these moves and both of them are a big reason the Cubs have a talented team this year. Also, the reason they were able to make these moves is because Hendry was the Director of Player Development and Scouting Director before he was promoted to assistant GM and built up their minor league system from crap to being loaded with prospects that he could use in these deals.

Edited to say: Yes, I know I am on Hendry's nuts a little bit in this post, but I have a lot of respect for him even though some of his other moves have not worked out. He will be the first one to take the blame for the 2006 debacle of a Cubs season.

John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you know neither the definition of "recent" nor "lopsided." Doyle Alexander was 9-0 with a 1.53 ERA down the stretch.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is recent in the history of baseball. For overall value, the trade was very lopsided.

I wasn't going to include this, but if Pedro for Delino was ok, then this one should be.

By the way, lighten up you punk.

The J.C. Romero/Alex Casilla trade was really bad for the angels
