I was wrong about Homer Bailey: I thought he would be a elite power pitcher
I was wrong about Ken Griffey Jr: Disaster trade set up the lost decade
I was wrong about Sean Casey: Never became the hitter I thought
I was wrong about Danny Graves: I thought he could become a starting pitcher
Tom Seaver - thought for sure he would bring a couple W.S.
Kurt Stillwell beating out Barry Larkin for starting SS.
Eddie Milner being a Gold Glove CF with power and speed.
I thought Chris Heisey would hit 30 home runs this year if he was given enough playing time.
Wow, I thought I was only one who thought this back then.Quote:

Willie Greene and Austin Kearns.

Alonzo. Thought he would hit .300 this year. Not a power hitter so Petco shouldn't hurt him, as Welsh pointed out the large field spreads out the defenders to make it easier for a line-drive hitter to find gaps.
Perhaps batting cleanup gave him BP-syndrome, and he will flourish further down in the order.
I was wrong about Paul Janish being the SS of the future
I was wrong about Rolen having season ending surgery by ASB
I was wrong about Eric Davis winning an MVP.
Nm...
Me too, I traded a Brady Anderson rookie card for an Eric Davis card, thinking he would be the next MessiahQuote:

2010 being "the year."
Sabo being a 10-15 year veteran and HOFer
Arroyo being a burned-out hippie (maybe!)
Go Reds!!
Lol, Arroyo is a burnt out hippie that just happens to be able to pitch. Those JTM commercials are still hilarious, total classics!Quote:

Thank you, that was great. It'll make theses last 2 hours before the deadline much better. The only thing is you should post the longer one where the crafty left hander sheds a few tears. Arroyos face at the end is priceless.Quote:
