I remember when we got Story, I thought if we could get GG defense at SS and his .752 road OPS over a full season, it would be worth it.

Instead, we got .697 OPS, declining defense and only 361 games out of a possible 750ish.

We got a few things.

• Someone with an initial arm ailment which might have been foreseeable.
• Someone who hurt himself diving for a GB, which is unforeseeable.
• And someone who turned 33, seemingly a death knell for players, with all due respect to our fans who want to sign 32 year old players to long-term contracts.

I don't really hold any ill feelings towards Story of the guy who signed him, and not just because I'd be a hypocrite, because I liked the signing, but because Story gave it his all, and it kept us from extending Bogey.
