Once the decision has been made, we can debate how well it turned out for everyone involved (although I would say that it's still too early for that).<BR/><BR/>And even if Pedro has four good years with the Stems, that doesn't mean he wouldn't have blown out his shoulder in May 2005 with the Sox (or maybe the Sox four straight World Series with Pedro). There is no way to know what would have happened. So you're right -- judge the decision at the time it was made.<BR/><BR/>(Which is why I hate announcers who say, "If Smith hadn't been caught stealing, he would have scored on Jones's double." No. The way Jones was pitched to would have been different if Smith was still on base.)allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
