Hoe about the triple? I think some Mets fans, and I mean SOME Mets fans, would love to have all four players sent to the Twins to amount to nothing. So do I detect sour grapes?? Was the Home Run OK?

We traded a young unproven starter (Bannister) for a young unproven power bullpen arm (Bourgos). We also traded two young power bullpen arms (Owens and Lindstrom) for a young unproven starter (Vargas). I don't see how the odds of these trades as a whole working out for us were particularly good. I said all of this at the time too, it is not Monday morning quarterbacking. The other thing is, if you look at the trades in that off season as a whole, it makes little sense.

So I would not count him out based on just 3 bad starts. Currently, Bannister has a better WHIP and ERA than Ollie.
