      I think you mean Carlos Baerga, not Espinoza. Baerga was the 2nd best offensive 2B from 1991-1995, but he fell apart in 1996 because he was partying too much and was out of shape. The Indians ended up dealing Kent and Vizcaino for Matt Williams, who underachieved in his only year as an Indian, before he was dealt for Travis Fryman.

          Shouldn't it be "wish" instead of "wished"?

            I wish the Yankees hadn't broken Joba.

            Does that count?

              Even though I was not even alive, it has to be the Lou Brock trade. Trading one of the greatest players in history for Ernie Broglio to your biggest rival is just too big, it will never go away.

              As long as baseball is played, the Brock Broglio trade will be talked about as the trade... Only the Vikings can relate in the world of sports.

                #1. Met bad move of my lifetime - Easily Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano...That trade just made absolutely no sense whatsoever. NONE!

                Honarable Mention:
                Resigning Oliver Perez 12 mil for 3 years and Luis Castillo to a 4 year contract
                Trading Melvin Mora for Mike Bordick
                Not signing Arod or Vlad when they were young FA
                Brining in Bobby Bonilla...twice.
                Trading David Cone for Kent, just to trade Kent/Vizcaino for Baerga/Espinoza later.

                    Oops...fixed. My subconscious thought of the Zambrano that it would have made sense to acquire...

                      Signing Milton Bradley last year, letting Maddux go to the Braves as a free agent. Dennis Eckersley for David Wilder, Brian Guinn and Mark Leonette (they never made it to the majors), Bruce Sutter for Leon Durham and Ken Reitz, Lee Smith for Calvin Schraldi and Al Nipper,

                        Funny, that's one of the best moves I think the Cubs ever made. You got him back while he was still productive.

                        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                          Yeah but there was that 9 or 10 year stretch when he couldn't be touched.

                                Don't get me wrong. I love Roy Halladay, but wouldn't you rather have both of them. Just thinking about it hurts my head.
