Of course you wouldn't. To criticize that trade - especially when Weaver's become a journeyman pitcher - is idiotic.Ian C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01249763037058741373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-1140186502217729742006-02-17T09:28:00.000-05:002006-02-17T09:28:00.000-05:00I have never liked Rob Parker and never will, I th...I have never liked Rob Parker and never will, I think with columns like this it is pretty clear why.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if Dombroski is good or bad, but the Tigers are clearly better now than they were prior to him. Dombroski inherited a team with no minor league system at all, it was as barren as a desert. He has now given us a minr league system that is at least producing some decent players and has prospects to boot. Didn't the Mud Hens win the championship last year or something?<BR/><BR/>The Weaver-Bonderman trade was a no brainer for Dombroski, Weaver was the only guy we had to trade that was worth a damn. Has Pena been a bust? Yes. Has German done anything yet? Nope. It essentially was a Bonderman for Weaver deal and to me that still looks like the Tigers got the better pitcher in the end.<BR/><BR/>With Maggs and even Pudge the year before, what choice did Dombroski have? The Tigers are just finally getting some of those prospects to perform, we had to overpay to get anyone worth a damn here. <BR/><BR/>I agree with the sports pig totally, if anyone needs to be shown the door it is Parker... and I hope it hits him in the ass on his way out.the sports dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771895433975427893noreply@blogger.com
