DB: What is Kevin Mitchell like?Doc: Kevin Mitchells great. That was, in my opinion, one of the worst trades the Mets could have made. Kevin was a guy, in 86, he played a lot of different positions. Obviously he had a lot of talent. And nothing against Kevin McReynolds, who was a great player also but trading Kevin changed the whole atmosphere because, if a team wanted to brawl with you, he was going to protect guys. He kept everybody loose. On the plane, he had a great sense of humor. I just think that was a big loss.
