    Wow, there was a lot of hatred in this thread. I would say it worked out OK.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    As I mentioned in the thread at the time, one of my concerns was the strikeout rate. He has improved it greatly since joining the team. It's back to where it was a few years ago.

    I never did go ape over the deal like some did, I just wasn't nearly as impressed with it at the time.

    Yep definitely. I love going back and reading what we thought about certain deals. I think my thoughts were pretty accurate though.

    It's always fun to dig up old threads...a guest was looking at this one so I thought I'd remind you guys of it.

    Not just in here...I'm sure there weren't too many Reds fans who were happy with this one. I never would have guessed it would turn out this way either after seeing Arroyo in Boston in '03 and '04.

    Ha, I just read a lot of our posts wanting Clement over Arroyo. Glad Clement wasn't available at the time.

    Re: Willy Mo traded for Bronson Arroyo (Confirmed)

    I get points for mentioning Arroyo's good contract and the number of quality starts from the year before.

    I think we should pull up the thread on the Randa signing.

    Do I get points for talking about how great Walt Jocketty is each time I do so?

    He's proven it.

    You know, I'm pretty sure you are Walt Jocketty at this point.

    Its a year later and the best part(s) about Geki are his avatar and that he's no longer with us. Do I get anything for at least trying to defend the deal?

    Did I mention how much I like the Randa signing?

    Oops, carry on.
