Old Socks Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Do you guys know who Joe Kennedy is? Lefty for the Rockies who has won 4 so far and has looked really, really good. Rockies got him for nothing in the off season. Last year he was in Tampa and was awful, something like 3-12. He was in Lou's doghouse and Lou was very obvious that he didn't like Joe and that Joe would be gone in '04. That much is fact. So, I'm reading the Denver sports page 3-4 days ago, and the article said that in late 2002 (off season) Joe Kennedy was such a hot prospect that the Rangers offered Hank Blaylock to Tampa for him. And Tampa refused. Don't know if was before or after Lou took the reins. Sounds like it could be true because the Rangers were hurting for pitching, and they were pretty stupid before John Hart took over. And Blalock's 2003 performance was why Lou hated Kennedy so much. But can you imagine trying to trade Hank Blaylock just a year and a half ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I think that was when Blaylock was struggling, but that would have been a steal for TB is they woulda pulled the trigger on that deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
