    ...then how good can this guy be? I love stories like this: Pitcher traded for 10 bats.

    Oh God ... the Vipers should have failed two years ago. I have no idea how they're still in operation.

    At least it wasn't the proverbial dozen baseballs and case of socks.

    Those maple bats are costly...

    Thats almost as bad as the time a player to be named later was traded for a player to be named later.

    Wasn't Dickie Noles also traded for himself in the 80s in a similar deal?

    What did he trade for these assholes? A used puck bag?

    Ed Cicotte wants to go on record as noting that he was never traded for bats ...
