  1. I didn't like losing Rodriguez, but I did understand the move at least. We had everything clicking last year, and the back of our bullpen was probably the best in baseball with the addition of Miller. Injuries mounted up and things didn't work out, but there was a big chance there to win it all.

    I understood it at first and really thought we had a huge chance last year. But I am sorry if you give up an arm like Rodriguez you at least have to re-sign that guy you traded for, which didn't happen. In fact, we even let 2 other huge FAs walk.

    Look for Rodriguez to tear us up for some years now

  2. How's that Parra trade looking now? Used one of our better prospects to get a guy that isn't going to move the needle on a .500 team.

    I am still upset about that Rodriguez trade.

    I never got the idea of trading away your future for rentals, especially if you are running on such a low budget like the Os and don't even re-sign those guys during FA.

    I guess looking back after some years. Rodriguez, Davies and some other prospect (look for Bundy or Harvey get traded next year) will be solid to great pitchers for other teams. Miller, Parra and some incoming body next year will have signed big contracts with rivals, while we are stuck with horrific prospects and the likes of Jimenez and MiGo pitching and lurking around .500

    Also if Duquette wanted to content this year why couldn't he just re-sign Cruz, Markakis and/or Miller, instead of throwing away yet another prospect for a rental. Oh I forget he worked his magic signing Travis Freaking Snider

    I so much hope Bisciotti somehow buys the Os
