What the heck were they thinking?

Who wants a guy who hit 90 dingers and drove in 300 runs in the last 2 seasons? Thats what GM elgman was asking at the start of this season. The phone rings, elgman picks it up and who else but Syracuse GM yoijames is on the other end proclaiming he wants Clint Stern and what is it going to take? Simple says elgman, I want 2 young stud prospects. After a little back and forth the 2 teams decide on Darby Gant and Rob Gross. The deal is done and 3 possible superstars put their homes on the market and move their family's into rental homes and new school districts for their children. How will this turn out for the 2 franchises. Well the Grasshoppers have 2 players that will probably play in this seasons all star game and one of them is Stern. On the other hand Gant and Gross are throwing up huge numbers in AAA and should be making an impact in the bigs shortly. Another case of one club trying to win now and the other planning on winning later. With both clubs struggling below .500 ball with the all star game just around the corner it apears Syracuse's win now moves are not working. It will be a while before Charlotte's moves can be evaluated.
