yeah, that deal was made on August 26, 2003. I didn't realize until I looked at his record that he played more years in SD than Pittsburgh. His defensive stats are terrible although I thought he was a decent outfielder.

his ops with Bucs was 1.018 and ops plus was 158. 426 oba and 591 slugging.
Too bad he didn't come back this season.
i wonder if the bucs would have to clear a second roster spot for Giles' pharmacist
No roster spot for Giles' pharmacist. Just add him to the training staff or the interpreting staff aka, Kang and some of the Latin players. 8-) But I think your suggestion was great.
the Pirate Parrot was ahead of his time. He could have made a lot more money with steroids vs. cocaine.
I'd forgotten about that. Did ESPN ever do a 30 for 30 on the drug trials? Even in the pre-internet era that was a pretty wild time. Can't imagine what it would be like in the era of social media.
