May 2nd, 2004
Boston Trades: Carlos Lee, Travis Hafner, and Mike Woods
White Sox Trade: Bobby Jenks, Jung Bong, Ryan Klesko, Brad Wilkerson, June Pick 2004, (Daryl Ward) August Pick 2004, (William Bergolla) 800k
Commentary 3/15/07 - If I would have kept Jenks this trade wouldn't look like it was the worst trade I've ever done... but when you add the fact I gave him up for Vicente Padilla this is by FAR the worst trade I've done as I could definitely use Hafner and Lee right now. Of course who couldn't use Lee and Hafner?

Boston Trades:
Todd Jones and Paxton Crawford

July 26th, 2004
Boston Trades: Chase Utley
Cubs Trade: Arizona's July Monthly, (Missed pick) St. Louis's August Monthly, (Scott Olsen) Arizona's September Monthly, (Brandon Moss) Pick 104 in Amateur 2004 (Paul Janish... Texas ended up with him? What?)
*Clause* Utley has to play in 110 games in 2005 or Boston gives Cubs their 2006 July Monthly
Commentary: (2006) Before I researched who the picks were I felt ok about this trade. Now I feel sick. What happened? Instead of four picks I only ended up with 2 and Brandon Moss looks like a failure. I wish I would have kept Utley... sheesh.
(3/15/2007): All I have to say is PLEASE LET OLSEN BE AWESOME!!!
7/16/07 - Well at least Moss may amount to something too.


August 14th, 2004
Boston Trades: Shawn Green, Round 5 Amateur (Pick 67), (Billy Becher... but I still picked...) Round 7 Amateur (Pick 104) (Paul Janish... somehow Texas ended up with him?)
Diamondbacks Trade: Alex Sanchez, Brian Bruney, Josh Kroeger, Round 7 (Pick 99) 2004 (Kevin Melillo... but AZ still kept him)
*Clause* Previous trade involving trade with Green with St. Louis's clause is still in affect. 2 million if he doesn't hit the required amount.
Commentary: Somebody must have been sleeping at the wheel here. None of these picks went to the respective teams...

August 15th, 2004 (Deadline Deal)
Boston Trades: Brad Wilkerson, Derek Lowe, Kevin Youkiliis
Astros Trade: Kelvim Escobar, Mike Sweeney, Morgan Ensberg
Clause #1: If Youkilis does not play in 100 games in 2005, Boston gives Houston tbeir 2006 September Pick *Applied*
Clause #2: If Sweeney does not play in 100 games in 2006, Houston gives Boston their 2006 September Pick *Applied*
Commentary (3/15/07): Well that had to be the most pointless clause that actually had an effect... basically I got to pick one pick earlier and he got to pick one pick later. Amazing huh? Ensberg has really been the star of this trade, and was a bit unexpected. Seriously I only took him because I thought I was dealing my 3rd basemen of the future in Youkilis. My how times change.
7/16/07 - As I said my how times change. Ensberg isn't exactly the star anymore is he? Basically this trade was Derek Lowe, Kevin Youkilis for Escobar, a year of Sweeney, and a year of Ensberg. Pretty much even in my opinion.
