As the sun comes up on a new day, guess what?
The Gonzalez trade still sucks.
Somebody PLEASE explain this one to me.
This is the kind of trade the Indians used to make in the 70s and 80s.
Plus we gave up Thomas and Mendoza which doesn't make sense considering what we traded and what we got back.
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
art here.
ReplyDeleteDunno myself, seems like they traded too much for Luplow, and I don't see the other fellow making the team at all, seems inferior to many "free choices" out there.
Luplow has shown decent power and a low strikeout rate, plus seems to have a half decent batting eye. Maybe they see him as a 20 HR guy with a .260-.280 BA. The low strikeout rate is a plus, so adding in some half decent power and maybe he is worth Gonzalez even up. Wouldn't have included the pitchers though.
