Dickhead, immature or not, that was a franchise-torpedoing move. We were just lucky enough to fall into Dotel, who was the real gem of that trade. Rzepczynski was helpful against Howard's corpse in the LDS, and Jackson ate some innings, but I don't know if he ever made it out of the fifth in any playoff start.

I had forgotten this board's reaction to the trade, but it doesn't surprise me to be reminded it was negative. You guys are a smart and non-homertastic bunch.
On other message boards I frequent, Cards fans LOVED the deal then and still love it now. That was bleeding into my post...
Hopefully, if the Cardinals DO trade Miller, they're smart enough to not let team personnel continually bash him in the media, destroying his trade value.
