I know it's easy to forget about Brady Anderson's inclusion in that trade, but don't forget about him. That gave the Orioles a very solid CF, and gave them the confidence to trade Steve Finley, Pete Harnisch and the aforementioned Curt Schilling to the Astros for Glenn Davis in one of the most lopsided trades in the history of baseball.
