By bonus points on "one of the most lopsided trades ever," are you saying the Glenn Davis trade? I don't think the Boddicker trade was that bad given Boddicker I think pitched on a couple of division winners. Sort of in the Alexander for Smoltz vein.
What was the Davis trade - Finley, Harnisch, and Schilling? Also, what was the trade that sent him to Philly?
Or are you saying the last deal - Casey Fossum, Jorge de la Rosa, and guy who was a closer for a brief while (I forget his name, but he closed some in 2003)?
Also, I've always been a Brown fan, and thought he was $crewed by not hitting 5% his first year, but I wonder if the ERA, ERA+ and FIP are overly influenced by pitching in SD. I'm a little surprised at the K/BB.
