SSH2005 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Van Poppel had two good seasons with the Cubs in 2000 and 2001 as a reliever. http://www.baseball-reference.com/v/vanpoto01.shtml That's why he got that contract from the Rangers.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Looking at this thread has made me apperciate KW even more. I'm glad he doesn't slobber over prospects the way some GMs do. I figure unless you have a no doubt about it guy like Mark Prior, Felix Hernandez or David Wright, any prospect is fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW has the advantage of being a bust himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayitaintso Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) Damn, I was just browsing through some players transaction lists on baseball-reference.com, and came across this gem for Gary Sheffield, I forgot about the magnitude of this trade: I think I remember Piazza being on the marlins for a really short period of time. Did he even spend a half of a season with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Bobby Higginson was a pretty big bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he even spend a half of a season with them? One week, IIRC got this on baseball-reference.com May 14, 1998: Traded by the Los Angeles Dodgers with Todd Zeile to the Florida Marlins for Manuel Barrios, Bobby Bonilla, Jim Eisenreich, Charles Johnson, and Gary Sheffield. May 22, 1998: Traded by the Florida Marlins to the New York Mets for Preston Wilson, Ed Yarnall, and Geoff Goetz (minors).

I was pretty sure he was on the marlins real short, but i didn't think that it was a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
