I think the other players in the Unit deal were Carlos Guillen (who's had a nice career) and John Halama (who's stuck around, too, as a swing man)

i'd still make that trade.
Here are just a few of the key ingredients: dynamite, pole vaulting, laughing gas, choppers - can you see how incredible this is going to be?

I brought it up not to revisit the Unit deal, I'd still have made that trade too, but to give kudos to our scouts. It is very hard to win one big league game, much less 100. Most big league pitchers don't even hit 50.
