LeMahieu for Ian Stewart is also pretty bad.

I have a personalized autographed Brock picture. My father got it for me when I was 5 or 6. It says "<newper>, Looking good, Lou Brock"

That explains it. Shameful.

Jemelle Hill and Golden Jet are against a rush to judgement, except when they are for it.

I don't suppose having balls bounce off the heads of both Brock and Williams in the outfield could have had anything to do with the trade at all.

Ok.

I'd like to believe that as well. Brock was a shitty defender who hadn't become a good hitter yet. Sort of an Eloy/Schwarber situation, can a last place team keep all three of Brock, Williams, and an injury-decimated Banks between LF and 1B?

But.....

1. Buck O'Neil has infinite currency in my book. This is the man who was inexplicably omitted from the HOF when they inducted the Negro League players an masse, yet still wanted to give their induction speech.
2. Bill Madlock for Bobby Murcer.
