Stanton could be effective again if used in moderation but he just went across town to a team that abused their relievers as bad as the Mets did last year. So unless things change in the Bronx Stanton won't be effective for them.

You make a decent point but with a bullpen now consisting of Rivera, Gordon, Quantrill, Rodriguez, Karsay and possibly the re-signing of Sturtze, Stanton will only be used as a lefty specialist and probably won't get overworked.

He was part of the Boone, Scott Williams Guillen fire sales the Reds had and they were criticized for not getting anything for him. But as in most things in sports, it's what have you done for me lately... we do have short memories.![]()
But he sure was lousy last year.

With all things being equal I'd rather have Stanton but like I said in my blog concerning this issue, getting rid of Stanton was a good thing. If the move is a precursor to other moves to upgrade the bullpen than the trade is fine. If Minaya made the move because he thinks Horredia is better than Stanton and he expects him to fill the role Stanton played last year he's horribly mistaken.
