He also got us Norris, Boyd, and Fulmer when he had a good idea that he was getting fired. The vast majority of his trades have been very very good. Keep in mind we also have a meddlesome, win-at-all-costs owner that he had to deal with. He had his blind spots but I trust him to build a team more than I trust Avila.
Also Prince got a raw deal in Detroit with the fans shitting on him while he was going through a divorce. Sad with how it ended here and sad that injury's cut short a good career.
damn maybin going on the DL really sucks. combined with castelanos heading there and zimmerman only pitching one disaster before going back on the DL is not a good sign at this time of year.
Rex is right, there was no Price, Soria, Cespedes, or even Davis on the roster to sell this year. Everyone of consequence on this team will be back next year. If things go south at the deadline next year, blow it up. No one's value is going to drop off a cliff before then.
Besides, we're all of 3 games back in the division and 1/2 game back in the wild card plus 7 games to go against Cleveland. No reason to panic at all.
I don't see it. Not a good defensive player, barely over a .280 average and 1,000 RBIs. He certainly was on track to do it, but I think he's a few good seasons short.

You think he makes the Hall of Fame? Kirby Puckett's situation was comparable
