What would Walter (O'Malley) Do?
as a Dodger fan, I'm so pissed right now, I can hardly think straight. you trade away the best set up man in the league (Mota) and the heart and soul of your first place team (Loduca) for a .500 pitcher, a underpowered first baseman and a chance (unfullfilled, it seems) at an over the hill starter (the Unit's still good, but he's way past his prime) and Steve Finley.
Now, DePodesta claims that the Florida trade was stand alone, but even my mother knows that he did it to set himself up for Johnson. Now they're not getting him. Add in the fact that they did it with the inkling that they could get Charles Johnson to catch, but that they didn't have that deal nailed down, and you have a major fiasco in blue.
Bring back the O'malleys. please. Hell, even Fox looks good now.
