]Kim was unhappy about going on the disabled list, but used the time to audition for scouts. He switched to agent Scott Boras two days ago in hopes of facilitating a trade.

Scott Boras must have some free time on his hands.

NYM to Ariz - May '06
Ariz to Fla - Apr '07
Fla to Colo - May '07

because he sucks.

[Frayed Knot]

But he sucks with promise.
If one truly sucks then no one would ever trade for him

I picture both GM's lighting up a cigar thinking to themselves "Wow, I can't believe I just unloaded this guy."

Eh, there's more myth than truth to that.

The season after the blowup in the WS, he was 8-3, 2.04 ERA, 36 Saves for the D'Backs. Took the loss in a Division Series game to the Cardinals that year.

His troubles didn't really start until he had a bad year in Boston and then went to Colorado.

I'd rather Julio in my division than BYK, so I'm gonna boo this trade for the Rockies.

Kim by the way made his ML debut against the Mets at Shea, absolutely baffling us in a xtrra-inning win. Anyone remember that?

Used that big-breaking "frisbee" slider to make Piazza look clueless.

Horrible game. Horrible series. Horrible homestand. Horrible eight-game losing streak that cost three coaches their jobs.

Prelude to the 40-15 stretch that made 1999 something special.

Could do without seeing Kim ever again anyway.

That was back when Arizona used to beat us.
