This is, of course, laughable.
Canseco was dealt for 1.2 years of Witt, .2 years of Russell, and .2 years
of Sierra. Sierra's collapse was completely predictable, and if you
care to call me on that, check your local news archive. >>
.2 years is called a stretch run! That's what the whole deal was done for.
Yeah, maybe the trade wasn't the best ever, considering only a World Series
title was going to be the mark on whether or not it was a good deal, but the
bottom line is that he made the chance on the trade. Alderson regrets making
the deal? Maybe so, but I was glad to see him take that chance on a team
that for sure wasn't going to beat the Jays with Canseco.
I'll admit, resigning Sierra was wrong. The only reason it happened is
becuase it did come on the eve of the Bonds signing and Alderson felt the
heat to be competitive in the Bay Area.
And it doesn't sound like anything's gonna bring you back. I'm not here
saying Canseco's presence is going to be an asset to the team.
And I'm still trying to figure out, are you pro or anti Canseco?
