Reds must have knows that he sucked pretty early on. They traded him after 7 big league starts to the Tigers. It was only 13 months after they drafted him 9th overall. The Reds did all right in that trade. They got David Wells and they went to the NLCS that year.
For the Tigers, that was Sparky's last year, and the beginning of one of the worst losing stretches in team history.
