    The Reds and DBacks....

    Interesting to me is that Danny Richar who was picked up in the Griffey trade was previously a pretty highly viewed prospect in the D-Backs organization...that was prior to Upton and Drew.

    Why the love affair with the D-Backs players?

    Daniel Perales was obtained for Jon Coutlangus. He's been pretty bad.

    I doubt that we unconditionally love DBacks, but that is a team that's ready to trade.

    Didn't one of Wayne's assistant GM's come from the D'Backs?

    Seems like only a few teams are willing to trade young players. The D-backs always seem to have some.

    Because they do an exceptional job of drafting and developing talent?

I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me."
