mva5580 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I understand that pretty much every MLB team loses big stars from year to year, but look at this: C Ivan Rodriguez 1B Derek Lee 2B Luis Castillo SS Edgar Renteria 3B Miguel Cabrera* LF Cliff Floyd CF Juan Pierre RF Gary Sheffield SP Josh Beckett SP AJ Burnett SP Dontrelle Willis* SP Matt Clement RP Todd Jones RP Armando Benitez Also..... C Paul Loduca C Charles Johnson 1B Carlos Delgado SS Alex Gonzalez 3B Mike Lowell OF Jeff Conine P Brad Penny And probably more that I'm forgetting just off the top of my head. Kind of sad.

Admin Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I dont think we lost all that much with Renteria. Maybe bat wise, but his defense was way overrated. Could also add Dempster, Kotsay, Urbina(if not for, you know, his problems), Seanez, etc to the list as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGonzalez11 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Why must someone always start a topic like this just about every other week? did you just realize that we got rid of all these guys? we're a small market team - all this shows is we have been blessed with good management with D.D. and Beinfest. Plenty of teams out there are in similar boats - do you see Oakland fans whining every week that they lost Mulder? Hudson? Giambi? Tejada? etc. etc? get over it already!

Accord Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If we kept Clement, then we wouldn't have D-Train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Sheff's a personal fave, so that's one I'd love to have a do-over on, but really, I think if you ask anyone in the organization, they'll tell you the only regret they have is the whole Lee/Pudge fiasco. To do what they did and then come away with neither will always be, to me, the biggest screw-up in franchise history. If they could just take a mulligan on that Beinfestball beauty, I can't even imagine how much more positive the effects would have been.

Lefty Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'd like you to find one team that has kept 4 or 5 of their best players for the last 4 or 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauer7 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 If we kept Clement, then we wouldn't have D-Train. that's true..a lot of the players mentioned were traded and we received other players in return. clement never really pitched well for us anyway. :confused When we traded them who did we get in return? That is the biggest thing. someone mentioned kevin brown..who was traded for D. Lee. if we hadn't traded him derrek would of been playing 1B for the padres and not for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence: Small market. I disagree with that characterization as well. This is potentially a very large market with the right ownership that has vision, a new stadium and competitive team.
