All-Star Panel Talks Best and Worst Acquisitions
By Mike Silva ~ March 11th, 2012. Filed under: NY Baseball Memories.
I have been down here in Florida covering spring training, so there won’t be a show tonight. You can, however, enjoy a baseball show on MSG at 10pm.
“The Lineup: Hits & Errors – The Best and Worst Deals in New York Baseball” will take an in-depth look at the spectrum of trades and free agency signings throughout Yankees and Mets history – from Gary Carter to Tom Seaver and Paul O’Neill to Carl Pavano – to determine which were the most impactful and regrettable.
Fran Healy will host the show along with a panel that consists of former big league manager Tony LaRussa, super-agent Scott Boras and historian Dave Kaplan.
The schedule is below, so set your DVR if you can’t tune in live
Sunday, March 11: “Mets Best Trades” (10:00 p.m.)
Monday, March 12: “Yankees Best Trades” (11:00 p.m.)
Tuesday, March 13: “Worst Trades – Mets & Yankees (10:30 p.m.)
Wednesday, March 14: “Yankees Best Free Agent” (10:30 p.m.)
Thursday, March 15: “Mets Best Free Agent” (10:00 p.m.)
Friday, March 16: “Yankees Worst Free Agent” (10:30 p.m.)
Saturday, March 17: “Mets Worst Free Agent” (10:00 p.m.)
Sunday, March 18: “The State of Baseball” (9:30 p.m.)
Use this thread to share some of your best/worst free agents and trades - hopefully it will take away from the monotony of spring training.

I was not impressed with the discussion of the Keith Hernandez deal. Fran Healy, Dave Kaplan, Tony LaRussa, and Scott Boras spent about 3 minutes making superficial comments that merely stated obvious things, like when you have a chance to trade for a complete player, you do it. Well, duh!
