Worst trade by your favorite team.

The Smoltz deal was a fantastic deal at the time. Alexander was outstanding during his 1987 Tiger outings.

I plead the age card on getting this one wrong.

Thanks hole. And just think how bad the Gonzalez deal would have been had he accepted the big check Ilitch threw at him. We'd still be paying for that SOB to spend the yearon I.R. The only player that pisses me off there is Francisco Cordero, who could have spared us ever seeing Todd Jones and his pornstache.

At the time I was furious they traded away Justin Thompson, but yeah, Cordero is the one that stings now.

I went to a game that season, after it had become clear that Gonzalez was teh suck, armed with a big sign that said "Juan GONE!" I'm still sort of proud about that work of art. Yes I'm a nerd like that.
