The giants sent joe nathan and fransico liriano, among others to the twins for aj pierzenzki (sp?)
Nathan has turned into a dominat closer, Liriano is lights out when healthy and AJ only stayed a giant one year.
In response to the first responder, the Tigers traded away a young Smoltz for the Veteran Alexader in the middle of the 1987 playoff chase. While the long term effects can be questioned, the short term was a relative success. The Tigers won the AL East ultimatly losing to the the Twins in the ALCS.

Definitely in 1964 when the Cubs traded a young Lou Brock to the Cardinals for an aging Ernie Broglio.
Broglio went on to play 2 more seasons in which he went 7-19.
Lou Brock gets 2800 hits with the Cardinals, steals 888 bases, has 6 all-star appearances, wins 2 world series with the Cards, and now is in the Hall of Fame.
Thanks again, you adorable Cubs.

If you're a BoSox fan, I'd still be a little upset about sending Jeff Bagwell to the Astros in exchange for RP Larry Andersen, who was a free agent nearly 3 months later.

When the Reds traded Frank Robinson to the Orioles for Milt Pappas.
--Robinson won the Triple Crown and the AL MVP in 1966, his first year with the Orioles, who were also the World Series Champions.
Nice move, Cincy!

Lou Brock was traded from the Cubs to the Cardinals for a pitcher by the name of Ernie Brolio. He was gone after a year and Brock went on to play 20 years for the Cardinals leading in many categories.

The Expos trading Grady Sizemore and Cliff Lee to the Indians for Bartolo Colon. Sizemore is an MVP candidate Lee is a possible future Cy Young winner. I know Colon won 1. But, he's been hurt to much.
