Why did we trade Rafael Palmeiro, back in the day?

<!--quoteo(post=79291:date=Feb 11 2010, 01:04 PM:name=rok)-->QUOTE (rok @ Feb 11 2010, 01:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Palmeiro didn't start to demonstrate much power until 1991, though his doubles totals shot up between 1988-90. You'd have thought that someone in the organization could have foreseen a jump in slugging eventually for him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Why? Mark Grace showed doubles power, but that wasn't indicative of a future home run surge. I think if you are making up a list of "guys whose power surges were foreseeable", Palmeiro, McGwire and Sosa should rank pretty far down on that list.
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
