Your judging a trade as a miss because the player we received got hurt? If that’s the case, then yes, they screwed up. Zerpa’s upside was very evident in the WBC, his stuff is electric. Knowing his injury, I would still make that trade today.
Wish he was getting another inning. I get protecting a young guy and not going 3rd time through the heart of that order, but he seemed like he was getting stronger. I was thinking let him go until he allows a base runner at least.
So much hate for Ortiz on the forums, but that play proves his worth. We won the most games in baseball last year with Ortiz playing great defense and hitting.220 most of the year.
