And as for Geishert, let's not forget that by acquiring him, the Reds got the final piece of what would be needed to complete the upcoming Geishert/Frank Duffy for George Foster trade with San Francisco. Not to say that it was Geishert who made the deal necessarily (since the Giants were so cavalier in disposing of their young outfielders in those days that they could easily have traded Foster for a jumbo pack of brats), but still a nice little detail to finish up with.
In all honesty, the Giants were just not impressed at the time with Foster whom they felt was more of a Dave Kingman than what he turned out to be....not cavalier, simply a bad read...They should have traded for the Reds scouts and not Duffy/Geishert.....lol
