You're not understanding the point. The point ...Hm. You're not understanding the point. The point isn't that Hawkins shouldn't have been acquired, but that the price is too steep for the help that Hawkins can give.<BR/><BR/>So like I said, he needs a few good relief pitchers, he got only one, and this cost him two young pitchers who could help the Giants stay competitive after Bonds departs. Meanwhile, Hawkins may net the Giants 2 or 3 extra Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548779988500630807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240164.post-1117557758475362772005-05-31T09:42:00.000-07:002005-05-31T09:42:00.000-07:00This is completely twisted thinking. You're saying...This is completely twisted thinking. You're saying that Sabean shouldn't have traded for Hawkins because the Giants need LOTS of good relief pitching. Huh? Did you expect Sabean to trade for Gagne, K-Rod, Rivera and Hawkins all at once? A complete bullpen makeover? <BR/><BR/>Your other point is that Sabean shouldn't try to improve the team because the Giants are destined to be mediocre this year.E.L.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07840639097284299659noreply@blogger.com
