What are your mistakes in this league?

Here's a bad one:
Traded from Philadelphia to Milwaukee on 2/1/2013 (Going to MIL: 1B Eric Hosmer, P Santo Franco, RF Jerry Singleton. Going to PHI: P Scott Kazmir, P Ben Sheets)...

Kazmir is a good pitcher in this league, but still... Sheets did next to nothing in his time with PHI. Kazmir also makes a billion dollars and probably won't re-sign next year.

Singleton would've won roty with more playing time this year, and Hosmer is an MVP candidate. Franco burned out somewhere...

For what it's worth, Singleton was traded by the Astros to Philly initially (in a deal for Ryan Howard), then after the Philly to Milwaukee deal he was traded to the Yankees. Been tossed around a lot. Like Saber's mom.

I remember being a little upset at that deal because of Chris Young not getting near as much attention lol.

Traded from Milwaukee to Toronto on 3/3/2011 (Going to TOR: P Walter Pagano, CF Caleb Gindl. Going to MIL: 3B Freddy Sanchez)...


That's still a pretty big blunder.

As bad as that looks now...it's important to remember Gindl got a HUGE boost. When I traded him he was a worthless 4.0 spec, a 4th/5th OF at best, and all of a sudden started using massive amounts of HGH.

It's hard for me to say I regret that one, because what are the odds that happens to Gindl? I'd do it again if I didn't know he'd team up with Victor Conte.

Yea I made a run for the division one year and Sheets didnt pan out and the hitting didnt have a repeat performance...set me back a few years

The Weathers deal is one Id do again, Withrow would have been very good if not for a 2 week DL stint that turned into 2 big hits...he has never been the same since.

Although Im getting better... the deal where I got Labat/Zaragoza for Cardenas is looking like it will be good.

Also of note, I MADE NO REGULAR SEASON trades this year...arent u so proud nick, I think thats the 1st time since I joined the league
