Completely agree. Of all the guys signed to these big deals, he is the 1 i would do it for. But I still said from day 1 that trade him for Olt, and whatever else the package Texas would offer. We shall see how this affects the club in the future.

TexColorado, World Series MVP or Cy Young? It would be interesting to ask Halladay and Lee, they have one, but it didn't include a parade.

You are all spoiled fans that should turn in your fan card. You don't know anything about baseball. I wish some of you remembered this team before 2007 and would get a clue. RAJ has done nothing but bring talent to this team. This year has been terrible because of injuries. If you took all the best workers out of your job and replace them with interns your job would suck. Same situation. Players were brought in to play roles not start every day. You see what this team is when they are an entire whole piece. If Hamels left you would be complaining about RAJ not getting the job done. Go root for the Mets because honestly, you are not real fans for this team.
