What do you guys think are your worst trades so far in DDL? Three stand out for me so far:
David Price for Shin-Soo Choo (and assorted picks/nothing prospects)
I badly wanted a CF and had long coveted Choo. I still think I wouldn't have regretted this one if Choo had been in 2013 form.
Yordano Ventura and Lucas Giolito for James Shields
At the time, Giolito hadn't returned from TJS, and although I strongly felt he would be an elite prospect, his value had far from peaked. I like Ventura a lot too, but at the time it wasn't apparent he was going to help as more than a RP in the near future, and I wanted to add Shields for a playoff push. If I had won a championship, I wouldn't have regretted it... but here we are. I really hope Giolito is the ace he appears to be though, and I can still laugh at some of the awful selections that were taken ahead of him in the initial draft (Mason Williams, Bruce Rondon, Delino Deshields, Bubba Starling, Danny Hultzen, among others).
James Shields for Cliff Lee
Apparently James Shields is my fantasy kryptonite. Lee broke (again) immediately after this acquisition, and contributed nothing to me, while Shields helped North to a championship. And then he signed with San Diago!
