To All Baseball Fans - re: players acquired by your favorite team?

Of all the trades (or free agent signings) your favorite baseball team has made since you've been a fan, what player did you hate the most while he played for ANOTHER team, but you loved him when he was with YOUR team?

Answers can go back as far into history as anyone's memories will take them.

Thanks in advance to all who answered.

    As a Tribe fan here's my favorites

    Favorite Trade- Bartolo Colon and Tim Drew for Grady Sizemore, Lee Stevens, Brandon Phillips, and Cliff Lee or Kenny Lofton and Alan Embree for David Justice and Marquis Grissom

    Favorite Signing- Roberto Alomar in 1999

    I hated Juan Gonzalez when we faced the Rangers, but I loved what he did in one season for the tribe.

    Well, I can do the opposite of that easily enough. I loved Andruw Jones, and was excited when we picked him up, but then hated him as he proceeded to torpedo his career.

    Finding someone I hated then liked when he became a Dodger is tougher. I think I'd have to go with Kevin Brown. He did amazing things for us, and gave us the first legitimate ace since Orel Hershiser. Then he went to the Yankees and imploded, and you could only watch in disgust.

    Amazing how no one said Rickey Henderson.

    I hated when he stole so many bases against the Red Sox, but liked him when he played for us, even at the twilight of his career.

    Rocco Baldelli is another pick.

    Hmmm, it's gotta be Randy Johnson.He's one of those guys you love to hate unless he's helping your team out. He's an amazing pitcher with some serious attitude who always looks like he's out for revenge. But when he left us, I hated him. When he returned, I loved him. Now he's left again and I hate him just as much as I did three years ago.

  • alfonso soriano Soriano traded to the Washington Nationals for Brad Wilkerson, Terrmel Sledge, Armando Galarraga.

    not one of the 3 did a damn thing for us

    Jeff Kent-I loved seeing him and Bonds play they were always a threat no matter who batted 3rd or 4th. I liked him in a Giants uniform but when he left I disliked him for leaving and then ending his career with the dodgers pissed me off even more.

    Vlad Guerrero was one of my favourites as an Expo .. hurts to see him on the Angels (as y'all know I'm a Red Sox fan)
