Since Kevin Towers is clueless and can't make a good deal to save his life, all the Lamentations over the trade of the young, 5-tool player for an over the hill IF go here!

Post all of his game winning hits, etc.

All of the D'backs popup kings are gone. If they had not been so stubborn swinging for the seats on every pitch, they wouldn't have been banished.

Just ask our remaining two big boppers, Goldschmidt and Kubel, who know when to hit line drives and when to try to go yard.

And it opened the CF position for Adam Eaton to fulfill the leadoff spot. Hell, Gerardo Parra is hitting more balls to the warning track -- the right spot of the warning track -- than Young ever did.

Chris Young a 5-tool player? 'Too bad his stubbornness brought him down. And too bad his mentoring Justin Upton got him banished, too.

CY = addition by subtraction, regardless of whom he brought back in trade. And the D'backs are better for it, as we've seen since the start of the season.

Yes, Willie Mays will be 82 on May 6th. :)

Say it ain't so Willie (no one remembers Joe anymore). It seems like only yesterday Willie was selling his services, what little was left of them, to the NY Mets. Chris still has some years left to turn his game around but he'll never be confused for the real Say Hey, Kid.
