:smh: @ Billy Beane being responsible for both LCS's


Traded Donaldson to the Blue Jays.

Traded Ben Zobrist to the Royals.

Traded Addison Russell to the Cubs. Then let Jason Hammel, the the guy he traded Russell for walk. And of course he signed back with the Cubs.

Billy Beane did all that in the past 16 months.

Those are great blunders, but Beane should have a lifetime pass for getting that team to countless playoff appearances despite a bottom payroll.

Nah trading Donaldson who was essentially under control for another 3 years for Brett Lawrie may go down as a top 5 all time horrible trade...no pass for that one...

he traded Tyler Clippard to the Mets too... but i don't want to see that fukker show his face in game 5 (or beyond to be perfectly honest)

Lot of other players besides lawrie

It's retarded to judge a trade a year from when it happened
