Game Notes: Colon vs Archer

Its been thirteen long years since the Montreal Expos made the fateful decision to trade away several of the game's top prospects (Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips, and Cliff Lee) in exchange for the Cleveland Indian's ace, Bartolo Colon. Since that time, the Expos have relocated and the prospects they dealt away have blossomed into some of the game's best.

It's funny how the game of baseball works as Brandon Phillips would be again traded, this time to Cincinatti for Jeff Stevens, who in turn would be later dealt to the Chicaco Cubs for Mark DeRosa.
