MLB 2006 Season Thread

He pitched 5 games for you, 3 starts. He was 22, what do you expect? The fact is he had a 3.35 ERA in 23 starts in AAA, and had dominated A and AA in the Devil Rays organization. You don't trade a guy like that because he has few crap ML starts, especially when he has the kind of stuff Gaudin does. He was a young pitcher with huge upside, but more importantly, he was pitching depth. You had two huge injury concerns in Burnett and Halladay, every team needs extra starting pitching but especially you guys. Now Burnett and Chacin are out and you have to rely on minor leaguers while Gaudin has been excellent in his set-up role in Oakland.

But hey, at least you got a 25-year old outfielder who is still in A-ball for him. Nice trade
