So let’s compare:
Northeast Wisconsin: 2004 – $2.16; 2008 – $3.84
Southeast Wisconsin: 2004 – $2.15; 2008 – $3.99
Chicago: 2004 – $2.18; 2008 – Up to $4.50

Now I hope for under $3.25!

Let’s look and see how the trade has fared for both teams.

  • Texas Rangers
  • Carlos Lee: Now playing for Houston.
  • Nelson Cruz: Don’t hear about him much.
  • Milwaukee Brewers
  • Kevin Mench: Part of the LF tandem.
  • Laynce Nix: On the DL
  • Francisco Cordero: All-Star Closer
  • Julian Cordero: Who?

I’d say the Brewers got the better end of the trade.
