On July 31st

[Guest AG/DC]

Name the players acquired on July 31st in the following years. I've left out minor leaguers thrown in but never used, but I included minor leaguers who were not immediate parts of the team.

1989 (1 player)
1995 (1 player)
1998 (4 players)
1999 (4 players)
2002 (2 players)
2002 (2 players)
2006 (2 players)

Obviously deadline-type deals have gone down before or after the magic day, but there are the ones that came right as the window closed.

[Benjamin Grimm]

1989: Frank Viola.

[soupcan]

2006: Roberto Hernandez & Oliver Perez

[Fman99]

2002: Jason Bay and Bobby M. Jones

I know one of those 2002 trades was the one that sent Jay Payton to the Rockies.

If I remember right, they got back John Thomson and Tom Martin.

[Guest AG/DC]

I really should have 2002 compressed into one year like I do for other years.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

2002 McKay F. Christensen

[duan]

might be wrong but what about Shawon Dunston for 1999

[Guest AG/DC]

While Christensen, Clark, and Little are three peas in a pod, only one was a 7/31 acquisition.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, the teensy-weensy icons for Little and Thomson are switched.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

In 95 they traded Saberhagen for Juan Acevedo (sp?) and the Gooch.

[Guest AG/DC]

Firecracker on board. Hamilton and Little switched.

1998: Jorge Fabregas, Willie Blair

[nymr83]

1998: Brian Bohanon from LA, Willie Blair and some other garbage from ARZ?

[Guest AG/DC]

Holy crap. I never really thought of the Bucket as a two-strike hitter.

[Guest AG/DC]

Late on Blair, wrong on Bohanon.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is crazy but I associate the Willie Blair and Jorge Fabregas trades with my early forays into Internet arguuments on the Mets. I can still see the stupid ugly cube where I carried on those talks.

1998 -- Ralph Milliard (?)

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

98 isn't Piazza...wasn't either Wilson or Pulsipher traded that day?

[Guest AG/DC]

I don't regard answers in the form of a question as answers. There's scorekeeping going on here.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

I can't do the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" say-things-out-loud-that-aren't-the-answer act?

[soupcan]

1998 - Andy Phillips?

[TransMonk]

1998 - Tony Phillips

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm going with Ralph Millard. Also, Soupy s half-right: His answer reminded me of the right one -- Tony F. Phillips.
