Nine Years Ago We traded Liam Hendricks to the A’s for Jesse Chavez. The comment thread was mixed. Some liked it. Some didn’t. It turned out to be a terrible trade. After being a swingman, a part-time starter for the first four years of his career, the Blue Jays put Liam in the pen in 2015, and he was good. As a starter, he had a 5.80 ERA in those four seasons. Then, in 2015, he had a 2.92 ERA in 58 appearances. The A’s kept him in the pen, and he was ok there for the first three seasons .
Then Cee wrote a post for DRaysBay, which ended the guest writer program. The post was fine, but the comment thread was the worst thing I’ve ever read on any SB Nation site, full of sexism, general stupidity and then out-and-out threats to harm Cee. As a result, many folks were banned, and there was a change in the blog’s management. And the Designated Columnist idea ended. In this case, it is just as well that the comment threads are gone, but I wish we could have them back for most old posts.
