Seeing Melvin Mora reminds of that absolutely awful trade we made for Mike Bordick!!! Mora never did get a good chance while on the Mets thanks to Bobby V. He had great springs to blow away the guys that were actually chosen to start like Benny Agbayani and Jay Payton. Rey Ordonez "The Wizard of Ahs" got injured and they wanted a regular short stop so they got Bordick. I remember this trading being horrible then but looking at it now it doesn't seem as horrible until you see Mora's stats in Baltimore. Look at 2004, .340 27 Homers 103 RBI!!! We went through a string of shitty 3B after Ventura until Wright came around. Mora would have fit in quite well.
