		<description>One that is so often overlooked among the list of all time GREAT Mets trades was Tom Parsons to the Houston Colts for Jerry Grote. In Grote, you basically have the same TYPE guy as Brian Schneider, but who is also an even better fielder and who can contribute with the bat just a little bit more. And Parsons? Well, he went nowhere fast.</description>

		<description>In Bell’s case much of his performance was dictated by his erratic usage at the major league level. I don’t believe he would have performed with the Mets as he has with SD. His minor league peripherals suggested his major league performance should be quite good but you can’t use this to project a performance level if the manager cannot or will not use you in a manner that gives you the best chance of succeeding.</description>

		<description>Ok, and sorry I did miss your correction about mlb.com.

No I don&#039;t want your friend&#039;s name. I want you to point me to the exact article where Olney made up something regarding what your friend told him. 

Or at the very least, what exactly did Olney say that was incorrect? Surely you can give that info here.

And again there is a difference between saying something happened without qualification and merely speculating on the future which is perhaps what Olney was doing with the information given to him by your friend. But your insistence on keeping everything in the dark, makes it hard to tell if perhaps you just don&#039;t know the difference.</description>

		<description>seo had fairly good numbers last year outside of his HR&#039;s allowed which killed him.  he&#039;d have fared much better in the NL at shea.  

i guess we forgot how bad the 5th starters were last year already...but no fear, due to a lack of pitching depth once again, we&#039;re going to see it again this year.  

but hey, we got a month out of duaner sanchez for a guy who&#039;d be the 4th best starter on the team right now.  what a great trade...</description>

		<description>I AM wrong about the three team trade and sorry about that. I thought that was Buster&#039;s idea and am wrong. I don&#039;t want to give him blame for anything he didn&#039;t do.

But all right, believe whatever the hell you want. However, rationalize this if you can...why the heck would I blatantly attack Olney on my favorite website with a total lack of proof? I have proof. In fact, I have a link to the 2008 Minnesota Twins scouting staff from mlb.com with my friend&#039;s name on it...and his home address, and his phone number. You want his real name (Which by the way is not Scott S, though that is the name of his assistant. I&#039;ve heard too much about identity theft on the internet to give it out)? Okay. Email me. Delete the word NOSPAM. I&#039;ll relate in detail my friend&#039;s interaction with Olney.</description>

		<description>Neccia, I&#039;m not even pretending to be close to Olney. All I&#039;m asking is for you to support your claim. 

I already proved your claim that the 3-way came from Olney is FALSE. 

And if Olney has such a rep, surely you can find one instance of it on the internet -- just one article where he claimed something to be so and it wasn&#039;t.

And surely if Olney twisted something out of proportion in terms of what your friend says, you would be able to find a reference to it on the internet.

I can&#039;t believe anything you say without any proof. And the fact you can&#039;t give any totally undermines your position.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s actually the point I was trying to make.  I don&#039;t remember the order of the two trades, but it was bad either way.  We essentially exchanged Lidstrom and Owens for Burgos in the pen, and Bannister for Vargas in the rotation.  In both cases, THUS FAR, we look to have lost out.</description>
