April 10, 200422 yr The "worst" trade by this front office, back in 2002, was incredible. Everyone hated it at the time but a select few, and I was just thinking about it. Floyd gave us Encarnacion (key player in world series run), Dempster gave us Pavano (we all know how that turned out on both sides), not to mention receiving Mordi and Wayne, two 25-man roster players. What a great eye for talent and steals this FO has.
April 10, 200422 yr dont forget the greatness of Wilton Guerrero in a Marlin uni... nvm at the time i liked this deal compared to some of the other rumors about what we could get for Cliff. dont forget we also got Levinski and without him no Steve :shifty

Turned out to be 2 good ones.
April 10, 200422 yr I loved the deal at the time because I really liked Enc from his days in Detroit and I liked Pavs because I always thought of him as a very good starter. Plus, throw in the financial factors and this was - even then - a very good deal.
April 10, 200422 yr Floyd is quite possibly my favorite all-time Marlin What is wrong with you? :blink:
