The other day, I heard Dan Evans on the Score with Boers and bernstein and the subject of trades came up. Evans indicated that a mentor told him long ago that you never make a trade unless it's right for your club. Based on KW's propensity of overpaying in trades, I wonder if Dan wasn't in fact speaking about our own fearless leader?
I look across town at Andy Mc Phail, and it seems that in trades, he always gets the upper hand. I still can't believe that he got a decent shortstop with power for a lousy relief pitcher that no one else wanted!! Not surprisingly, the Toronto GM is also a rookie.
I've come to the conclusion that your reputation always proceeds you. If you have a reputation of being too anxious and trigger happy, other GM's will take advantage of you.
