Re: One move you wished "your team" never made
I don't know the specifics of why it happened, because I was literally like 2 years old at the time, but it would've been nice if Milwaukee had Gary Sheffield throughout the 90's and into the 00's.Member: OS Uni Snob Association | Twitter: @MyNameIsJesseG | #WT4M | #WatchTheWorldBurn

Re: One move you wished "your team" never made
Even though Jose Valentin was decent (offensively), Ricky Bones was kind of a bust (lots of injuries), and Matt Mieske was basically nothing more than a 4th Outfielder all three were highly touted prospects for the Padres entering 1992. Even if the Brewers never make the trade in '92 within a year or two Sheffield would have been dealt or eventually leave as a free agent, there was no way he would have been a lifelong Brewer.Comment

Not taking what the Yankees or Red Sox were offering for Johan Santana and basically ending up with JJ Hardy and Jon Rauch for him.
Honorable mention: The Tony Batista at third fiasco. Rondell freaking White at DH. The Bret Boone after he was done roiding "Playoff Push" move.
Oh, and if they don't keep Mauer in a Twins uniform, I will stop watching baseball.Last edited by ImTellinTim; 03-15-2010, 07:57 PM.Comment

Not my team but Minnesota got hosed when they traded Bartlett and Garza for Delmon Young. I'd say Tampa ripped them off badly.NHL: Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks

There's no question Garza and Bartlett have been successful since they left. However, it will be a stretch for Bartlett to have another season like he did last year. Garza is a great pitcher, but when are his antics going to pop up again and disrupt the team?
This trade isn't as lopsided as some believe, and the Twins will probably still win their division with the team they have now even though they've lost the best closer in the game the past 5 seasons.Comment

Re: One move you wished "your team" never made
I'm a Braves fan and my biggest regret was not trading for a relevant closer in the 90s. We did get the one closer from the twins at the end of his career but that didn't go great, B-something.
I'm surprised nobody from the Yankees has mentioned:

Re: One move you wished "your team" never made
What was so wrong with trading Pedro? You traded a middle reliever for a starting 2nd baseman. Didn't even know enough to start him
Besides, you guys had Darren Dreifort as your up and coming ace. Pedro was expendableComment

Re: One move you wished "your team" never made
Sheffield was never happy in Milwaukee-and made sure he let everyone know it. Sheffield's mouth with the media is basically what ran him out of Milwaukee. Interestingly, before being traded to the Padres a few days earlier the Brewers had a proposed deal to send Sheffield to the Red Sox-which he also didn't like.
