Things to be happy about: Randy Johnson is not a Yankee. Nomar, if he had to leave Boston, at least landed with a marquee franchise with great fans who will appreciate him. And the Yankees and White Sox, two teams I’m hoping to see crash, exchanged undependable starting pitchers.
Thing to not be happy about: The only thing the Twins got for my favorite player on the team, Doug Mientkiewicz, was a low-level pitching prospect, and this after leaving him hanging for a whole week. Well, at least Doug got two hits in his last game with the team, before turning around and getting two more hits, against the Twins, in his Red Sox debut (how many people have done that, getting two multi-hit games for both teams in the same series?) At any rate, the Sox seem to be collecting former Minnesota first basemen: they’ve got three ex-Twins (Doug, David Ortiz, and David McCarty), as well as an ex-Saint (Kevin Millar).
As for Kris Benson, I was wondering how long it would take the New York tabs to notice his wife Anna, and the answer was “the next day.” The Daily News put her on the front page the day after the trade, and the Post followed today with an expose that revealed Kris and Anna’s penchant for public sex. Like the Reagan obits, these pieces were probably written months ago, you know, just in case Benson ever got traded to a New York team.
