There had to be something else going on with Montgomery to explain that trade. Something off-the-field, I would guess. Because you don’t just trade a reliable #3 or #4 LEFTY starter for a dead guy. I don’t think we were told all the details on this one.

By all reports he was very popular in the locker room so I can't imagine what the issue could have been. Plus, the Cards picked him up and they run a pretty tight ship. This might just be Cashman falling in love with a player and allowing himself to be taken advantage of since he feels he has 5 starters without him.

That 2006 draft still the best of Cashman's tenure IMO

It's a strong draft, but two of those players were good elsewhere (Kennedy and Melancon).

I completely exaggerated, but it pisses me off because it makes no sense whatsoever
I hear ya, even if the guy was healthy it makes no sense. Competent starting pitching, much less a left hander should have gotten a much bigger return
