How about Rusch for Nick Johnson?

[nilodnayr]

There's virtually no chance of any deal like that being made.

 

A 5th starter/bullpen arm for the Nat's best hitter? Yeah, not going to happen. I don't care who is the GM.

 

I have three words for you "Wilkerson for Soriano", not to mention Sledge, who is a useful 4th OF.

[nilodnayr]

Bowden is the dumbest GM around...we should take advantage.

 

I'd do that in a heartbeat, though I don't know Johnson's contract situation, and where would he play come late-June?

This is why the NL needs the DH ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

 

You better not be serious. The DH is the stupidest rule ever.

 

No it's not. The DH gives the AL a unique look. Believe it or not...while both the AL/NL are under the banner or the MLB, the two leagues are still competing with one another for fans, etc. The DH is as AL and apple pie. DH is not a stupid rule, the DH in the NL, is the stupidest thing I've heard.

 

Where are the AL and the NL really truly competing for fans? In the Bronx? in Queens? In Baltimore? In Washington? On the Northside? On the Southside? In Oakland? In San Francisco? In Anaheim? In LA? I would have to say that geographic and familial preference would determine whether you will be an AL/NL fan, not whether or not you want to see the DH.

Sledge is in AAA. He was sent down last week.

The DH is completely ridiculous. I couldn't ever root for an AL team strictly because of the DH. It's like arcade baseball.

 

Hey, I love the DH... but only in the All-Star game. I'm not paying to watch the pitchers swinging away in that kind of game, damnit!

[Monco]

maybe they'll throw in Cordero too.Johnson signed a 3 year extention in march.

Baseball, as defined by the person who created it is, "9 men fielding, 9 men batting." not 9 men fielding all but one of them batting, using a substitute for the pitcher. The American league does not even play baseball in its true form. There is a special place in the 9th level of hell for the person who created the DH.

 

Thats the last I will say about the DH, thank you

 

 

Amen. Softball is a game played with 10 people.... AL = Softball. The National League is the only real baseball being played.

I didn't mean a good 4th OF this second, but a guy whos career adds up to a full season of 775 OPS, aint bad. In fact only 41 OFs beat that last year.
