A response to Winners and losers at the Winter Meetings The best trade was Freddy Garcia for Who? Oh yeah a never been and a never will. To call this trade a win-win is to be smokin crack. Every White Sox fan is screaming in pain because Aaron Rowand was not included in this deal and every rumour had it that he would be-but somehow Pat Gillick must have gotten the White Sox GM drunk or stoned or something and convinced him that these two one-time prospects were the next coming of Wilbur Wood and Jim Kaat. Philly got a very solid starter in Garcia who can put up strong #'s and only had to divest themselves of two of their weaker pitching prospects -and you call this even in this pitching deficient era of baseball?
I am a long time sports fan and a former street ball player. My favorite teams are: Redskins, Phillies, Trailblazers and Golden State Warriors. I don't blog that often only when I feel there is an aspect to a sporting event that I feel everyone else has overlooked.
