Mientkiewicz

[StMarksCubs]

I am hearing bits and pieces about Doug M being a trade possiblity... has anyone heard anything out there? It's never too early for the Royals to pack it in and start trading guys, right?

[EricG]

Didn't we already trade for him 2 years ago? Can we trade him to LA for Nomar?

I'd rather have Stairs.

Walker is a better hitter than Menky.

Walker is a better hitter than Menky.

 

Menky is a cross between DLee and Neifi, Lee's glove and Neifi's stick. Only plays 1B like Lee. No thanks to Mentkabsceadskads.

Mientkiewicz has actually been at or below the league average in defense every year since 2003. His bat is abysmal. I just don't see him as any sort of upgrade.

Say no to Doug.

I do we need a better first baseman defensively. keep walker and first who cares about hariston and thats what I think.

So you're advocating the acquisition of a better defensive first baseman, yet at the same time you vote to keep Walker at first? I don't get it. And what impact does Hairston have on this?

[rjchapma]

put doug at first put walker at second plain and simple. Until walker cools down hariston shouldnt play same with nefi unless cedeno or walker need a rest.

There is absolutely no reason to get him. What will we do when Lee get's back? He should never be used as a pinch hitter. We wouldn't put him in as a defensive replacement. The guy is useless. Absolutely not on Doug.
