Fuckin stupid ass trade by Sabean.
AJ didnt help the team at all and the pitching that year was pretty weak. Atliest we still got some good young pitchers on the rise. The bullpen still sucks tho and Nathan couldve been our closer for the future..Benitez is wack.
basically,he threw a little at the end of last year.All year I had him on my fantasy just waiting for them to get him out of the bullpen and into the rotation.This dude is the best young pitcher in baseball,HANDS DOWN.
Bonseer aint half bad himself...another solid starter for their rotation..Twins should be better than they are record wise..they have strong pitching...
yeah it is now but when trade was made nathan wasnt what he was today,giants already has a closer in tim worell, nathan was setup man . nobody would thought nathan would be this good. he had major arms problem in 2001 or 2002 as a starter. Giants were talking about he might not pitch again in 2000 or 2001. my problem with trade was to get aj go for nothing. should have traded during the 2003 season or have sign and trade offseason.
and another things the giants should made sure tim worell was signed before dealt nathan
i pulled his rookie card out of a topps trading card pack. i was soo stunned when i got it i dropped it. picked it up and notice there was a chip on the bottom right side of the card. my fucking luck. theres goes that gem mnt rookie card.
before any1 knew who F. Liriano was, only people that followed Minor League Baseball and international baseball knew that the 2 top young pitchers in the WORLD were F. Liriano and F. Hernandez
