Incredible haul, Paul. Completely forgot about this one. When you look at what the yield was, it is EASILY one of the all-time great robberies/bad trades. Harnisch was such a game pitcher, a durable veteran. Same with Finley, always a tough out. How bad is your coaching if you can’t get ANYTHING out of Schilling?

Davis Never played another full season after the trade. Which was interesting because his final year in Houston he only played 93 games (though he did slash .251/22 HR/64 RBI) so he was showing the signs. As a lifelong Royals fan I think I blocked his tenure in Omaha from my mind. I wanted 1989 GD…but got a completely different version (like Howard Johnson with the Cubs).

Harnisch gave the Astros 8.2 WAR before being moved to the Mets, plus they got 16.1 WAR from Finley before they moved him to the Padres, but nothing from Schilling before he was dealt to the Phillies straight up for Jason Grimsley, who spent the year at AAA before being released during spring training ’93.
(Which, come to think of it, is a really bad deal within a really bad deal. Karma for this deal?)
Davis, meanwhile, yielded 0.7 WAR for dem O’s across three seasons before being released, spending a year as organizational depth at AAA for the Royals after failing to make the Mets’ roster before playing in Japan for a while, hitting more homers there then he did with Baltimore.
