Remember Alvin Harper of the Cowboys? He thought he was a star surrounded by all that talent, left, and was never heard from again.

I guess it was more to point out that some 800 pound gorillas can get up and play and others are SorianoSullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272557466790129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31467474.post-81838178930206167012010-04-20T10:25:36.944-07:002010-04-20T10:25:36.944-07:00"I bet the Cubs wished they pulled off that d..."I bet the Cubs wished they pulled off that deal."<br /><br />Except that there was no deal to be had. In order to pull off the trade, the Giants and Jays would have had to be willing to trade, too. And there was no indication that either team was willing to play along with your scheme.<br /><br />It's a fair cop to criticize Hendry for the signing.
