Take 2? Jocketty recalls ill-fated Cards trade
Reds president of baseball operations Walt Jocketty discusses the promising prospects the club acquired by trading Todd Frazier"I traded Dmitri Young for Jeff Brantley, and Brantley was hurt most of the time," Jocketty said. "We traded for him to be our closer after [Dennis] Eckersley. I think Eckersley ended up spending his last year back in Boston, and we wanted a closer in the same price range. Brantley was the guy."
