Quote:That was an awful trade, but I understand why they made it. I don't remember the details, but was it possible for them to get Verlander instead? Wish we could do that one over...Yeah, i'm pretty sure that was the year Verlander was holding out for a trade here and the Ricketts were too damn cheap to pony up. Believe Verlander ended up in the running for the Cy Young that year.
Jimenez has been hurt constantly but he's productive when healthy and Cease has been a pretty serviceable mid rotation starter. I never liked Quintana, always thought he was fool's gold with the Sox.
