(1) Oliver for Zachry.  I don't quite agree with the Dodgers being the
	beneficiaries here.  Oliver once had noteriety for being so
	underrated,  but these days he's known for his selfishness, as
	his output has been declining for the last few years.  Don't
	look for him to help LA; his drive for 3000 hits notwithstanding,
	the man couldn't drive in a (NL) shortstop's number of runs when'
	he was in the middle of the Expos' powerful lineup a few years ago.
	If Zachry does anything, the trades a win for the Phils.

(3) Clark for Green et al. It was mentioned that the Cards have made a 
	trade without getting burnt.  And I agree getting Clark is a
	can't-miss in almost any trade.  But I can't resist bringing up
	this piece of trivia to make people think twice before giving
	up on Dave LaPointe (or resigning him to mediocrity).  Since
	1970 or so, the Cards have traded away three pitchers who have 
	totalled over 500 wins, and one of the best if not the best 
	player they got in return was Spicio Spinks!!  Send replies to
	me or over the net (baseball can use the activity).  After all
	even though its snowing as I type spring training opens in
	less than a month.
