I remember very well the Bagwell for Anderson trade. One of the stories reported by Peter Gammons was that Gorman never consulted with his minor league director or Bagwell's minor league manager before making the trade. Houston asked for Scott Cooper. Gorman knew that Cooper was doing well at Pawtucket, and he said no. Houston then asked about Double-A third baseman Jeff Bagwell. Gorman didn't know much about Bagwell, but thought he was basically a non-power hitting third baseman. If he had checked with his minor league director, he would have been told that the New Britain ball park was the biggest in the league and that Bagwell's power would be evident once he got another year or two under his belt. So he made the trade, arguably one of the worst of all time.this is what DD brings to the table...sell off all the farm to build a team. Pretty much the exact opposite of what we are used to and what Theo and Ben have built over the years. 3 years from now we will have a low rated farm system. this kind of blows but hopefully it will result in a World Series title or two.
DD = Lou Gorman...discuss
It's both.keep dreaming. Hanley's problem is his head. not his weight.
The trade was part heist ... I liked Miley but he's was excellent trade bait as a decent contract innings eater. Interested to see how this affects Joe Kelly who I want gone ... will he compete with the new power arm in the pen or be traded? Cannot have Clay and Joe in the same rotation as they're either good or suck and every game is a new adventure.nice trade for the Sox. Bullpen just got better
what does it look like now?Bullpen looks decent, but they need at least one more (actually two more) starters before the rotation can be considered even barely adequate.
price and Arod the other three suk. if thats there starting rotation next year they are in trouble.what does it look like now?
Price
Porcello
Buchholz
Kelly
Rodriguez
We need to get rid of Kelly or put him in the pen
