Did Claudio Vargas get traded to Detroit along with matt wise? (Probably not. Erroneous wikipedia data?)

Did I miss something? For Nate Roberson and Yorman Bazardo???? Edited November 6, 2007 by Anonymous

[brewtank34]

where did you here this? I can't find anything...

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, links are much appreciated. Where are you pulling info from to raise this question?

[twobrewers]

Nothing on JSonline.

 

Wouldn't make much sense. Trade a starter and a reliever for another starter and reliever?

[aracko]

I dont just make things up - come on guys.

Its in WIKI says this

Vargas was traded to the Detroit Tigers along with relief pitcher Matt Wise for pitchers Yorman Bazardo and Nate Robertson.

[aracko]

On Claudio Vargas Page.

[aracko]

Robertson is a LEFTY. Maybe something is going on with Capuano?

Wikipedia isn't always the most reliable source of information.

[homer]

Yeah we know who Claudio Vargas is but do you have a link to the trade itself? I didn't see it on MLB.com or the Tigers page.

[aracko]

Nothing on Robertsons Blog.

I agree - WIKI is not always the best source - thats why I ask if I missed something.

[Katuluu]

The revision was done on October 27th. I think it is safe to say that someone is just screwing around with Wikipedia.

[homer]

Darn. That would have given me something to do this afternoon other than work. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[brewtank34]

If...and I say if...this is true, then I gotta say that I like the deal. I like Yorman...he's got some potential to be a starter or a closer...add in Robertson and this is a good trade...

Hell, if we could get anything for Wise, I'm a happy camper right now.

[Team Canada]

There's nothing on his player page anymore.

[aracko]

And the modified date is still the same.

 

I hope someone else saw it or I have lost my mind.

Going back through the editing history of the article and looking up the IP address of the perpetrator, it comes back as being from St. Louis and fortunately does not match that of any members here.

[aracko]

That seems very odd.

[Katuluu]

I edited out the trade info on Wikipedia. The edit was a week old and I couldn't find any corroborating info on it anywhere.

[MoneyballMan]

Wikipedia isn't always the most reliable source of information.

Correct - isn't it just about as reliable as the person who posted the information? I wouldn't trust Wikipedia for much.

Waitasec here, Ethan... weren't you in St. Louis this summer? Could this be a conspiracy by BF.Net to will a trade?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

But in response to the Wikipedia criticisms, there have been studies done that say that Wikipedia is actually, on whole, quite accurate.

[NeedMoreFans]

It's accurate most of the times, but then there are the days where the Canadians bombed Pearl Harbor (this entry edit is true...it was changed within hours of me reading the article).
