More than a coincidence that the Cubs started winning after he left.
Wilson Betemit isn't anything to covet, trust me ... just because they got 3 minor leaguers doesn't mean they got fleeced, apparently the A-ball guy is a stud. I wouldn't be surprised if this trade comes back to make the Brewers look like geniuses.Last yr they could have had Wilson Betemit for Linebrink. Couldn't even pluck an MLB bat for Linebrink? Boy has his stock fallen. Only bright side is Linebrink is a walk-away free agent.
How do you figure? Neither Bowen or Kendall have done shit. And they started winning before Barrett left. Ask the other 29 GMs in the league who they would rather have Barrett or Kendall and it might be unanimous in Barrett's favor. Don't get me wrong, I don't love Barrett. But the Padres stole him, and the cubs could still use him. Kendall sucks. And don't give me "Hill is the answer". Come the stretch drive, the vet will be in there
