Blech! Please, I implore you, stop filling up my RSS feed reader with these mundane “This Date in Transactions History” posts!
No one can possibly have any use for them!
I mean, what value is there in the last bullet point above: “Other players involved in February 6th transactions include Jason Varitek, Bengie Molina, Ellis Burks, Eric Karros, Darren Oliver, Tim Raines, and, way back in 1934, Dazzy Vance.”? Not that I want the details, but there aren’t any specifics about what the transactions were!
As much as I love this site and read it daily, at times it walks a line of becoming too bloated with updates for the sake of updating (rather than for the sake of passing along legitimate “new”s).

It takes like 0.2 seconds to scroll past the posts you don’t like. I’d say you wasted more time writing this post than you do in a two weeks of scrolling past posts you don’t read.

Wouldn’t it be cool to do a “TDITH: Super Bowl Sunday” instead of February 6?

Not for people such as myself who don’t like football. This is a baseaball site after all.

I couldn’t help but laugh after reading the article from 1998 that is linked to the part about the future of the Knoblauch/Jeter double play combo. “Knoblauch and Jeter could redefine middle-infield excellence as they play together in the years to come.” Hilarious!

I’m sure Chirstian Guzman and Eric Milton were above average for at least a couple of seasons, but yes, hard to argue that the NY teams lost the trades.

Guzman and Milton were incredibly important players in the Twins turning their organization around from perennial doormats. Plus the Twins flipped Buchanan for Jason Bartlett who was part of bringing Delmon Young and Brendan Harris to town. They also flipped Milton after several good years for Nick Punto and Carlos Silva. While you can’t say the Yankees “lost” the trade, I’m not sure you can say they outright won it. The Twins gave up a star with only a few good years left and got back solid years from Eric Milton, Cristian Guzman, Jason Bartlett, and now Delmon Young. Plus, manager Ron Gardenhire got an ample supply of “grit” with many years of Nick Punto. 😉
