:headshake One of the worst trades in History

With some people it's the Todd Ritchie trade. To me, this deal looks like the Todd Ritchie deal, which I have never had spite towards like others. I agree it was s***ty deal, but I never hated it. This trade I have spite towards. Olivo and hopefully Reed should kick some f***ing White Sox ass when I go to see them in a couple weeks at Comiskey.

I am fine with the trade.

 

What bothers me is how they treated Reed. He was EXACTLY what this team needed, a future, not a star (most likely), but a guy who would do everything right, and get on base a lot. He might not hit 30+ homers a year, but he will hit .300+. He will get on base, at the least, at a .380 clip.

 

I just don't understand this organization's hard-on for Borchard. They say he's doing great there, yet he's only hitting .285 or so. Is that Borchard's best, because if it is, then damn, that blows. And they say Reed was slumping, yet was still hitting .270+ with a fairly high OBP, with two injured wrists, in his first year at AAA.

 

Sometimes I question this organization. I don't mind the trade, I just question their lack of faith in Reed...

The hard on for Borchard is because he is the only left handed hitter in our system with power.

 

Reed is maybe Mark Kotsay, maybe less, but nothing more. He is ok defensively, but not a CFer. He has no arm and only average speed. What makes you think that he can actually hit above .300 in the MLs? Willie Harris was always able to post good numbers in the minors and hit over .300, however he doesn't seem to be hitting that in the majors.
