Finishes his career where it started?

The Chicago Cubs sent Bobby Hill (August 15, 2003) to the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete the trade.
How on earth has it been 12 years since he was traded to the Cubs? I thought it was 4 or 5. Where has all that time gone? I am old.
I like it for the Pirates
Getting old...happens to the best of us.
Look at that trade, though. Three "prospects" who didn't amount to much for two established major leaguers in a near deadline deal. Something to think about.

Barrios is a 30+ prospect. The Pirates really didnt give up much at all. More about the $ it seems.
that boy ain't right

Id wager that had far more to do with the pirates incompetence over 20ish years..

Actually, it was for two prospects and this guy http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...ernajo01.shtml one year removed from an All-Star appearance. But, yeah, he never amounted to anything in a Pirates uniform, either.
One month later, the Pirates would deal Brian Giles and fare much better.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...ilesbr02.shtmlAugust 26, 2003: Traded by the Pittsburgh Pirates to the San Diego Padres for a player to be named later, Jason Bay and Oliver Perez. The San Diego Padres sent Cory Stewart (minors) (October 2, 2003) to the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete the trade.
Now, who's old?
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
