Ken Caminiti Traded him and he became an MVP. Signed him back and he became a broken down crack addict. Terrible trade, terrible signing, and a sad story.
well he only became MVP b/c of the roids. It'd be real nice to have Freddy Garcia, John Halama and Carlos Guillen back. The RJ trade was a big mistake in hindsight.
Guillen's career average and slugging are lower than Lugo's (prior to this year). Halama's career ERA is around 4.50. His first 3 years at Seattle his ERA was 4.22, 5.08 and 4.73 - not very good. He had a good year last year at 3.56. The Johnson trade can never be considered a mistake. It electrified the city and showed that Astros management would make the big trade if there was one to be made. it made the Astros THE team to beat in the playoffs. Unfortunately, their playoff hitting woes continued.
Not only did he not get good after he left houston... he's never been the same since he left. Didn't he win 22 games with us his last season?? 22 games!!!
Yeah, yeah, but if Reynolds is solid and any of our 3-5 starters aren't, then it will look like a mistake.
got another 7 innings scoreless pitched today.. hope he doesnt come back and haunt us if we meet them in the playoffs
