These trades should not be approved. Two examples that come to mind are Puhlos for Glaus and Berrora. Glaus is nothing but a .250 hitter with 30 homer power. Berrora had one decent season, didn't hit that well in the minors and has proven he isn't all that in his second year. Puhlos 23 or 24 years old, has proven to be one of the best players in baseball, if not the best. That trade should have been rejected, even though it was made before the season. Or Kent for Jiminez. Come on, what is that. Kent goes to a contender and Jiminez goes to a managerless team. That is what I'm talking about. Kent is years older, but is Jimenez ever going to match Kent's numbers. Just two examples. Now Gary's example is ok. Rameriz is a top player like Bonds. No problem with that deal.
