[QUOTE="NEIlliniFan, post: 1800463, member: 16352"] Trades are judged both short- and long-term. Every one of them is done to try and improve their team, whether it's to shore up a perceived on-field weakness, dump salary, addition by subtraction, etc. Short-term it could well be said Atlanta won the trade for JD Drew. After all, the most important long-term contributor for the BOTB was some skinny minor league hurler named Wainwright. The fact that a starter didn't pitch either game of St Louis' patheticly short postseason means very little to me. Monty didn't get a postseason start because the 9th inning of game 1 was horribly mismanaged and the offense didn't show up in game 2. We'll never know what Monty might have done. I don't choose to assign winner/loser designations based on Bader going yard in one postseason game. [/QUOTE]
