Ten years ago today, I posted the following, in a discussion about the
Giants giving Jeff Kent an extension:
"[F]or the next four years I'd also rather have Quilvio Veras, or
Delino De****elds, and I don't think Kent is gonna get any better in
the next few years. By the time 2001 comes around, the Giants will be
paying $6 million for an aging secondbaseman who wasn't great in his
prime. I predict his OBP by then will be about .290."
