lol I think the Overbay and Glaus trades were great moves at the time. Glaus came in here his first season and mashed 38 HR's, 104 RBI's, and was only 30 years of age. Overbay came in here at age 29 and hit .312, with 22 HR's and 92 RBI's. We gave up almost nothing of value for Overbay. Batista was worthless IMHO, and Hill stepped right in and delivered just as much defensively and even more offensively. TBH, the only trade I don't like is Glaus for Rolen, and even then, Glaus forced JP's hand by wanting out. But wasn't Glaus injured when he got here?? Look at ODog now he's gold glover who's batting .300. I know what he was trying to do so I can understand. Imagine hill and Odog up the middle for the Jays!!! I like the Overbay trade too. We gave up almost nothing for him. Yeah, Gluas/Rolen trade. We needed to move Glaus and needed someone to replace him. Love Rolen's defense( 100x better than Glaus), but the shoulder is done I think. We traded a guy who didn't want to be here that was injured for a guy that was injured.

Glaus carried some injury concerns with him, but to his credit, was coming off a 150 game season where he posted 37 HR's and 97 RBI's.
