What deal from the past ten years most infuriated you?

[Scrat1]

Deal/trade/contract/promotion/demotion/DFA--the move by the front office that you least liked. I'm judging the deals in the context in which they were made, so I don't get particularly upset about the Arrieta deal, even though the result was very poor.

Parra for Davies is mine. It just made absolutely no sense. The Chris Davis deal may end up being more of an albatross, and I think it was a mistake, but I can at least wrap my head around the logic.

Trading for Mark Reynolds. Worst fielding player I have seen in an Orioles uniform.

The DFA of Jeremy Accardo on June 18, 2011. We needed that guy to have a shot at the playoffs. He had a lot of want-to.

I kid. The Parra trade would be it for me too, "in the context in which it was made".

Parra for Davies for trades

Ubaldo and Gallardo for signings...2 first rounders for dumpster fire pitchers.

Tough one.

I loathed the Parra deal. It was an obvious act of desperation.

I strongly disliked giving up draft picks for Ubaldo and Gallardo.

But for pure anger it would have to be Dan selling the competitive balance picks. I guess the Matusz deal was the more blatant of the two so it would probably be the winner.

You think Reynolds is a worse fielder than Pedro Alvarez?

Are we talking hindsight or at the time of the deal? In hindsight it has to be Arrieta, but at the time of the deal Davies is probably the worst.

This seems productive.

Targeted venting. At least we get to gripe about process rather than complaining that the team doesn't have any heart, etc.

About half the hangout liked the Parra deal at the time.

True. I like you and think you're a good poster, but this is bad timing. Gallardo is no savior.

Is Davies a productive MLB guy now or something? I honestly don't know.

Ubaldo was for 2nd round and Gallardo was supposed to be as well.

Mark Trumbo?

Reynolds was awful at third but was actually decent when moved to first in 2012.

I think the Webb deal was annoying. He was t that bad I saw reason to give up a pick to dump him. Plus he was t making that much money.

I don't remember that many people being upset that we signed Jiminez. Seems like people in general were pretty happy.
