Sandy Alderson Trade Tracker

Edgy DC Jul 07 2011 08:04 AM

As best as I can tell, there are only two trades of the Sandy Alderson era. The first is Chin-Lung Hu for Michael Antonioni (which I can't find in the UMDB). The other can be looked at as a moneyball special --- if the word moneyball didn't have so many undreasonable connotations attached to it. In a trade of first round washouts with high Scrabble value in their names, the Mets sent Eddie Kunz to the Padres for Allan Dykstra (like in the Hu trade, and in thier Rule V shopping, they moved for a property of a former employer of their braintrust. Well, moneyball, shmoneyball, this trade, minor though it is, really brings credit to the Mets values under Alderson. The Mets moved an utterly replaceable releiver who can find neither an out pitch nor the stamina to start for a walk machine. Kunz in 2011: Team League Level DoB W L ERA G GS CG SHO SV IP H R ER HR BB SO GO/AO AVG SA TEX AA 4/8/1986 2 1 5.21 29 0 0 0 0 38 37 26 22 3 19 13 1.85 .264 Thirteen strikeouts!

That's the Dykstra that's not related to Lenny, right?

My gut feeling is that it's probably better to have the Dykstra who's not related to Lenny.
