As I said before if we had the money last year to keep Kirby and Sasaki then yes I believe we would be a contender. Because we didn't...we aren't. Just like real baseball we all know Virginia will win it all...again. If they don't then it will be exciting and "refreshing" for all of one week before we start over and figure out that Virginia will win it all next year...again.
On the trade front I loved Hamilton (I even wrote a story about the kid and his father who was in Vietnam)! I just figure that starting pitching is more valuable and it's hard to pass up a chance to get Gonzalez and Castre who are #6 and #10 on the Top Pitchers list now. Picked them up in '91 and have had 3 straight winning seasons and 2 playoff appearances. We'd do that trade again anytime.
