I just came in here to post that. I dont care if Sabean has had 2 WS titles. That trade was fuking retarded.

So this, I f**king hated that trade

I mean I'd still rather win two world series in three years and not have him than the other way around obviously.

Well obviously. But. trading Wheeler had nothing to do with the WS titles.

f**k Zack Wheeler, he is no longer a Giant and can eat a dick.

f**k Sabean for that trade - but you win some and lose some.

Time to move on.

The worst part is that anyone who knows baseball saw that it was a horrible trade even before it happened. How a major league GM could then make the deal anyways baffles me. It could turn out to be worse than the Pierzynski trade.

This. There's no point whining over this two year old trade when there's nothing you can do about it.

Yup. Earning the title of dynasty is the mission we have this year.

It won't matter. Junior GM's will still criticize.

Or everyone in the MLB will criticize.

Exactly. Bone-headed move no doubt, but I can live with it given our 2 WS titles in the last 3 years.

Does he really have as good stuff as Strasburg? Geezuz christ if he's that good...

Buster was out and the offense was historically bad.

The fan base was screaming for Beltran. Sabean made a move to try to defend the title. It wasn't the right move.

He's still built two World Series teams in three years. Some of you will try to take those away from him, but they were his teams.

East coast hype.

Obviously this was a horrific trade. Some of us thought so at the time and still do. It doesnt take away the joy of winning the WS. What it DOES do is reduce the chances of winning it again and again. Wheeler would have either been a top of the rotation for us or could have been traded for a young stud everyday power hitter.

Just because the Giants won the title 2 times doesnt mean that Sabean is immune to criticism.

Watching this Giants vs Dodgers replay from last year.

Where the heck is Ryan Theriot right now?
