Joe Crede just went deep again. So much for that expression about the best trades being the ones you don't make.

George had a great trade!

He figured out how to get Griffey and Bonds, and not have to give up that much!

No, but as he went for it he lunged a little so stumbled. The ball died in his glove so he turned around and picked it up, keeping Castillo at first.

I saw him make two all-or-nothing dives in his debut in SD last week. He's the defensive equivalent of a wild homerun cut that misses.
