Then: we get a trade offer: The Cardinals offer us Tom Seaver- in his last two good years, and Ozzie Smith for Doyle Alexander and Roy Smalley. I though the trade was too lopsided, so I threw in Spike Owen whom I had intended to inherit SS for us into the later 80s and 90s. But Ozzie is an upgrade. And while Alexander has more decent seasons left than Tom Terrific does, I wasn't going to turn down having Seaver in the rotation however briefly.

The addition of Ozzie seems to catalyze our moribund offense, as we slammed the Rangers 11-0. But then, coming home for our home opener, with Seaver making his first start for us, we ran headlong into the Twins and...Roger Clemens! A Seaver vs. Clemens matchup could have been fun, but Seaver did not have his best stuff that day and we lost 6-1.

Still, I like how we look now with all the additions. Let's see where 1984 takes us.
