Brett Wallace: Thank God they traded him for Holliday
Alex Reyes: Total bust
We'll see how Gorman, Carlson, Walker, and Liberatore end up, but it's hard to be too optimistic given recent history.

Martinez, Rasmussen, Reyes we’re all head cases. Great raw talent but their mental toughness was/is for shit.
Do baseball front offices do the psychological evaluations on draft picks like the NFL? They obviously whiffed on those psyc eval’s.
Tavernas decision making and maturity can happen to any athlete. Players get DWI’s all the time.
Wallace was a win. Can’t fault the team for that trade.
Rasmus same thing. That trade got us another World Championship. Another rare win for the team..
Wacha got injured and was never the same.
Dewitt and his tightwad wallet that cost us big time difference makers were/are
Luis Robert
Titius Jr.
They supposedly wanted to sign with the Cardinals and obviously have been worth the signing bonus. I’m sure there are many more that they cheapskate’d their way out of a deal for a productive player.
