OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Hi.


Ahhh, I'll always remember Hoon Your Lago for his flashy and pleasing debut at Coors during the dark days...vaya con dios, motherfucker.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Neil Ramirez, assuming he doesn't clear waivers.

This one makes me a little sad.

The Garza trade is starting to look like Theo and Jed's worst move*, which is odd given how excited everyone was for a good year or so after it.

Edwin Jackson was probably worse. But it's not a very long list, so whatever.

What do we have left besides Grimm...?  Carl's Jr.?  That one might still work out but still...point taken.

Christian Villanueva will be great at 3B

Candario's slow start at Tennessee leaves Villanueva's window *slightly* open if he can ever make it back to the field.

Since I enjoy splitting a good hair (by cracky), I'll throw in DJ Lamahieu-for-Ian Stewart (not that Lemahieu doesn't suck because I'm convinced he does but Ian Stewart was pure rottenness)....and what do they have to show for Paul Maholm?  LaStella, eventually (with a dosey-doh of Arodys Vizcaino)?  Well that one maybe was okay.

Tommy Hunter didn't do jack shit but I can't even remember who they dealt for him.

They had an opportunity to deal Garza a year earlier for some (reportedly) good pieces but waited too long and he got gimpy and they shut him down. We'll never actually know what they could've gotten, of course. Then when the next year rolled around, he had one fewer year of control, so they didn't get as good of a return.

I mostly put it above the others because he was one of the few major trade chips they had -- you don't typically expect to get a lot of the Lamahieus, Maholms and Feldmans of this world.

The Cubs got Kala Shea, Tiffany Ramirez and Gina Grimm in that deal and Eli's up in here trying to call it a failure on the level of Edwin F. Jackson.
