he is a soft throwing lefty who was the centerpiece of the package that moved Rolen from Philly to StL. He fizzled out in Philly's AAA level and is now branded as a AAAA player....

No, he was just thrown in. Polanco was the centerpiece, I talked to the Phillies bench coach, Gary Varsho, about a week after the deal.

Polanco was Rolen's replacement at 3b, Smith was supposed to be the middle of the rotation starter to stabilize their hurting rotation. Smith was absolutely not a throw in, he was a high end prospect that they coveted badly....

Last I remember he was shipped to Philly in the Scott Rolen deal (I think, could be mistaken). Thankd Beckett95 for the update on Bud.

And I bet you loved that 6 pitcher no-hit job. The most illegitimate no-hitter in history
I personally think that a no-hitter shouldnt be recognized as a no hitter if it takes more than one pitcher to get it done. But I know that i'm going to get jumped on because the 6-pitcherjob was done against the Yankees, but thats not my reasoning for why I feel this way.

Agreed. Polanco wasn't considered a really good player at the time of the trade. He really made his name in Philly. No way he was the centerpiece, if anything he was the throw-in. They would have definately needed to get somebody to play at the Major League level in that deal to please the fans. It just happened to work out well. Nobody predicted it would turn out the way it did for Polanco.

matt cain from the giants almost had a no no yesterday tossing a one hitter

[monstah27]

and remember that time that mussina came in and pitched a perfect game until carl everett crushed that. Good times.

Even though its the yankees, it would be just another addition to the rivalry if someone would throw a pefect game, from either team.

Hahah, come on Moose, at least let him get to 4 innings before you send the Kaibash (sp) his way.

[Moose]

LOL, I edited it. He hit Eckstein, so the PG is no longer there.


EDIT: Whoops, Rolen got a hit. Maybe next time, Jamey.
