On Trades and Not TradesI'm tired of all this trade talk too, from Ed Eagle on, it's all bunk. No matter what the Pirates do, if they trade someone good they get accused of giving up, if they trade someone bad they get accused of not playing the guy enough to get his trade value up. Right now David Littlefield probably has the hardest time he has ever had following baseball Jedi code: "Be mindful of the future but live in the present."Fans also don't realize that by playing crappy players you are effectively giving up, and the only way to get good players in return is to give up a good player. Here's where I go into a whole spiel about trade-ability, but it isn't appropriate. I'm not even going to think about making a deal until it happens or until the All-Star break. I can stand it to some extent, but what really irks me is when people who know nothing start speculating about who we could get in return. One of the things that pissed me off when Paul Meyer wrote the Q&A is that he would dignify these with a response. It's not worth it. Smizik is right, I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to think about it, I just want to watch baseball. posted by Rory at 3:23 PM | |
