[USML Announce] The Curse of Sam Dyson Expands ...

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Great discussion….keep this up…but don’t let Dean Klein snow you: he robbed me of Cole Hamels – he never talks about that.

Rick - your batters haven't faced Sam Dyson enough.  That would fatten up their batting averages.

Jeff - nice to remind me of the Joey Bats trade.  I'm sure that made Jim B. smile!

Darwin Barney (he of the robust .389 average) is tired of being dissed by Andy.  Hell, without him the H.D. team BA would only be about .189, as opposed to .194.  Note to league historians - has there ever been a USML team with a B.A. below the Mendoza line going into May?

Before we start comparing this trade to the worst of all time, allow me to point out that there wasn't a Lou Brock equivalent sent to me.

Here are the guys that I got:

Dustin Pedroia ($13) - 5 runs and 5 rbi.  No home runs, no stolen bases.
Kevin Pillar ($10) - 3 runs, 1 home run, 2 rbi and 2 stolen bases.

That's a total of $23 for 8 runs, 1 home run, 7 rbi and 2 stolen bases.  For comparison's sake, I spent $22 on Elvis Andrus and he's already delivered more in every single category - all by himself.

Most importantly, I merely said yes.  It was Andy who approached me with the deal.  And the trade is still way better than the one that Andy made for Joey Bats.

So I think to myself.  OK, I got screwed on Sam Dyson, who will never see the 9th inning of a major league game again.  But at least Jeff threw in that Lourdes Gurriel guy from Cuba.  With the Jays struggling (and playing the likes of Darwin Barney), there's a good chance he'll be with the big club in short order.  But then ...

<<
Lourdes Gurriel was removed from his minor-league debut when he came up limping while running the bases in Tuesday's game for High-A Dunedin.
After appearing in a few spring training contests with the big-league club, the Jays' No. 7 prospect began 2017 in Dunedin on the seven-day DL. Tuesday's occurrence appeared to be a problem with the same leg that hindered Gurriel originally. The organization has no reason to push his recovery and risk long-term problems, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Gurriel land right back on the DL -- for an extended period -- in the coming days.

Damn.  I might as well have traded for Ernie Broglio ...
