I penned a sketch of Ed Wade's strength's and weaknesses and whether or not he'll be able to improve the Houston Astros at MLB Trade Rumors dot com. As I was assessing his time here in Philly, this thought occurred to me, as it has to all of us at least once this season:
Wade also drafted the Phillies' three best pitchers: Cole Hamels, Kyle Kendrick, and Brett Myers, and at one time, traded away their worst, Adam Eaton, only for him to be re-acquired under Gillick's regime.
That's one other feather in Wade's cap, at least he realized Eaton was a trade-able part.
