... Mets gave up on Bibby at the same time they did the same with Ryan. Ryan went to California for Jim Fregosi and Bibby went to St. Louis for among other others Jim Beachump and Harry Parker. A pinch hitter and long reliever respectively on the 1973 pennant winning Mets but hardly compensation for a pitcher who went on to win 111 games.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - So, we're down to St. Patrick's Day Eve and it's time for the annual Phillies prediction. In 1993, I sensed a special set of intangibles in the crazies that GM Lee Thomas turned over to manager Jim Fregosi. Coming off a dead-last finish

... talent for, well, basically nothing. Amos Otis for Joe Foy . Nolan Ryan (and a few others) for Jim Fregosi . And they did it again when they sent Ken Singleton to Montreal (with Mike Jorgensen and Tim Foli ). But this time, they got something of value in return. They got Daniel Joseph “Rusty” Staub .

... for trouble. Player Who Could Surprise : Brandon Wood, whom it seems has been a prospect since Jim Fregosi was the Angels' star, will finally get his chance at the major-league level. PECOTA projects Wood to hit 25 home runs as Figgins' replacement.

Thank goodness for Jim Fregosi, Fred Manrique, Dan Pasqua, a young Jack McDowell and Rickey Horton. Without their absolutely terrible 1988 season, the White Sox would not have been in line to pick 7th in the 1989 draft.
