But nothing like my Worst I never had!
PO OF Miguel Rodriguez!
Holy shit! I offered the damn farm for this kid and a pitcher (I think it was Vulture Harris or someone during that early little PO resurgence). I had the kid projected like the next Hercules Hernandez. I'm pretty sure I actually offered Esparza and Hernandez for this kid a 2 60 something SPs. No go!
Rodriguez managed to peak with a monster 3 year stretch of 12, 14 and 16 HR. He managed just 1938 at bats. He last played in 2041, when he was demoted at age 27.
I'm going to say I lost out by not making that trade!! I talked about this the other day......how did Miguel Rodriguez miss?

Going through some old conversations about the Miggy that never was.
I found a blurb from Corey talking about that deal for Herc/No Trump that Reign mentioned. Corey talked about how only Reign has the depth to make a trade like that and the "lasting impacts" of Reign's past trades.
Man, how times have changed.
If that wasn't enough, I see a reply from AJ talking about how the AL was "Shel and everyone else"
MANNNNNNNN, how times have changed!!!!

That offer was waaay overboard, even for me.
I chased quite a few OF trying to get that next great guy... Derrick Washington was on that list also. I eventually ended up with Jose Ortiz who I was pretty convinced was going to be a monster. He ended up being good, but was probably never a top 5 OF.
