I didn't like the Toad or Botch trade from the moment I heard about them.
D Wells/B Colon were good trades..... D Wells, of course, being a good trade at the time it was made.
As exciting as the R Alomar and Everett trades were at the time, KW and the Sox refusing to further deal for a 5th starter may have quashed any White Sox postseason hopes.
I have no faith in KW when he makes offseason deals. None. In the above offseason trades, KW is batting .225..... 1 (Colon) for 4 (Wells, Toad, Botch). Not to mention, KW is the guy that brought us K-layton. As for guys like Marte, even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut.
