Message #233 of 405  *NEW* To :   All From :   Reedster   Subject :   Beat me up for my trade Date :   5/4/06, 9:49pm Today, I made a desperate move. I'm third in OBP. I'm first in SBs by 15. I'm first in offense as of today. I am last in pitching. I trade Bobby Abreu and Joe Borowski for Roy Halladay and Lew Ford. Lew Ford is a waste pick. I have a ton of SBs with Felipe Lopez, Brandon Phillips/Brian Roberts, and Jose Reyes. I know Halladay had a rough outing against the Bosox at Fenway, but he had a good outing against them, too... and he had a good outing against the Yank offense earlier, so I think he is back to regular form. He just has to stay healthy, and hopefully, he will singlehandedly bring me up in the pitching categories. Thoughts? Did I make a mistake? • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #233 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 4018 reads This message has been added to these BGEEKS Blogs: Diary of A Baseball Geek

We were willing to start up talks with you. I think you probably could've gotten more, if only for the fact that this trade, for all intents and purposes, is Abreu for Halladay. That being said, you did have to make a move for pitching since your offense was already lights out and you could afford to trim a little extra there. Almost worked for me in my other league last year when I traded my extra pitching for Arod and had the lead with 2 days to go. Good luck to you. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #234 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 5206 reads
