Evans should have been an All Star just for his glove and arm.
All in all, pretty, pretty,....pretty,........pretty good.
Why did the Sox ever trade Lynn away? I understand the whole hindsight thing, but even looking at it from a 1981 perspective, it didn't make much sense. They traded an basically a #4 starter and an All Star/MVP-calibre center fielder for a below average AAA pitcher, a veteran outfielder running on fumes and a pitcher who had fallen from #1 starter level to about #3 starter. Boston got NOTHING out of that trade. They basically just gave Lynn away. I may have to do some research to try and find out what was behind that deal.
ReplyDeleteCould have been maybe he was asking for too much and Boston found a buyer?
DeleteI could have sworn he played for the White Sox for a cup of coffee.
