No mention of the best trade of the deadline? Giants getting Jake Peavy? Come on, man!

That was a good trade and they have a shot. If only they could play the D’backs the rest of the way.

Huston Street has been great.

His article was about trade deadline regrets.

Wow… he’s been CRAZY good.

In close to one third the innings with SF he has been better than Vogelsong and close to as valuable as Tim Hudson (in fWAR, maybe more in bWAR?).

The A’s have failed to score runs, to be sure, but that is due in large
part to the production fall-offs from key first-half contributors (Paraphrased)
Anyway, Billy Beane is usually the ‘all’ knowing genius that sees into the future.
If he thought he was going to have a hitting problem, he would have traded for a bat.
Adam Dunn is nice, but that’s not my idea of a bat.
He wanted pitching and he got it! The other problem is it’s not like the A’s are losing 1 run games, they are getting smushed. I am unsure what the problem is in Oakland.
Lastly, I didn’t realize Kirk Gibson lost the player’s support, that usually isn’t a good thing when that happens.

I’ve watched nearly every Diamondbacks game this year and am an avid fan, this is the first I’ve heard or even suspected that Gibson had lost his player’s respect/support. It’s always curious how this is discovered and if it’s true. Nothing about how the players react to Gibson has changed. Could it be as simple as losing too many games can lead to that lack of support?

In a smaller way, I’d add the Stephen Drew deal. The Yankees probably regret paying for him and for Drew it’s been a catastrophe. He was so poor he’s mostly been sitting, severely impairing his future value. And, for the Yankees, he’s been so poor that it’s harder to nudge Jeter to sit a little more. Drew’s a better glove, but with a .130 BA…..I can’t help but think if he had stayed with Boston, at the position, he might have had a chance to get his head straight.

I’d say the A’s regret the Samardzija trade more than the Lester trade.

I guess unless it is not being considered a “deadline trade”
