Was ERod too much for Andrew Miller

[Rene88]

Nothing is worse than the Glenn Davis trade. Eddie Murray trade sucked too. Anything Syd Thrift touched....

Andrew Miller helped us, it just wasn't enough.

3 starts and you're declaring it worse than the Davis trade?

:rofl:

I wonder if anyone could dig up ChuckS' comments about this trade on the day of the trade?

[Three Run Homer]

It won't be as bad as the Davis trade even if Ed Rod has a similar career to Curt Schilling, which would be a very good career indeed, because the Orioles also gave up two other productive players.

But it does look like a terrible trade. If Ed Rod turns into a dominant starting pitcher then it could one day rival Doyle Alexander for John Smoltz.

No and it's not even close. I don't think I seen one post on here where someone said they wouldn't trade Rodriguez last summer before the trade.

Pass it to the left when you are finished.

I saw many threads that said that they were very pissed at Dan Duquette for not offering Ed-Rod for Bud Norris instead of Hader. That was what I saw. Because we had hung on to him too long and he was no longer a prospect. Stupid Orioles.

You'd think he'd actually win the game and not fall out in the sixth.

He did look good though. For a cellar dweller.

Well one thread on this so far. How many more will be started tonight? Over under 4?

Is this serious? 3 starts. 3!

Yeah this thread is a joke. Give him three full SEASONS before you can even debate worst trade in team history.

Keep in mind he left a lot of fat pitches out over the plate; we just couldn't connect on them.

I'll go under since we won the game.

If we lost, I'd put the over/under at about 15.

It was worth the gamble. Miller put them in squarely in the mix for a title, but the bats and SP came up with poor showings in a SSS. It happens.

No, obviously you didn't read full my post. I stated that if EdRod ends up with a career similar to CC Sabathia, will this be just as bad as the Glenn Davis trade? I'm proposing a hypothetical. I think someone else is jumping to conclusions.

BTW, I'm not condemning the front office or saying that we shouldn't have made the trade at the time. I was more or less neutral on the trade when it occurred. I thought it was high risk and wasn't happy that Miller was a two month rental. I felt a player like EdRod should have gotten at least a year and change of Miller.

We also didn't win anything with Miller. I don't care what anyone says. He wasn't the difference in us winning the division because as good as he was he wasn't worth 12 games. And maybe the Tigers series is closer (4-1 or 4-2), but we win that one too. So in the end he wasn't a difference maker.

No one is jumping to conclusions here. I am proposing a question. I think it is UNDENIABLE that EdRod's stuff is comparable to a prime CC.

A lot of young pitchers do well their first few starts in the majors, because nobody has seen them. Once they go against teams the second time round, that's when you find out if they are real or not.

Will Mike wright be in the same HOF class because, if so, I'll make the trip to Cooperstown.

Miller contributed more in two-plus months than Glenn Davis did in 3 years here, so... No. That trade will never be topped.
