I have finished Hendry's offseason Shopping list for him

[b_wiggy_66]

Jim since you apparently need some help (Gil Meche sucks) I thought I would give you a plan. I know your not real good with planning, so I'll help you out.

 

First off we need to make a trade. Rosenthal says that the Red Sox would be interested in Izturis because they want a good defensive SS. The Rockies seem to be infatuated with Coco Crisp, and well we need pitching so......

 

We get Jason Jennings

Red Sox get Izturis, Novoa, and a minor leaguer or two

Rockies get Coco Crisp

 

See that wasn't so hard was it Jim.

 

Now we could us a little more power so since the Phillies would give up Burrell for just about anything lets give them something crappy. If they will take Jones send him because you will have to move him anyways.

 

Now since we have made a few trades we still have money to spend. Since you are hading money out left and right, let's give it to some good players

 

Use every dollar you have left to sign Soriano, Lugo, and a pitcher (Wolf, Igawa, Padilla, or another guy in that 2nd tier)

 

Now we have a formidable team to put on the field.

Lineup

SS-Lugo

CF-Soriano

1B-Lee

3B-Ramirez

RF-Burrell

C-Barrett

LF-Murton

2B-DeRosa

 

Rotation

Zambrano

Jennings

Hill

the FA pitcher

Miller/Prior/Marshall/Marmol

 

Get on it Jimbo

I think the Rockies are going to want more than just Crisp.

[YearofDaCubs]

If the Red Sox end up with Drew I would like to see us make a trade for Crisp.

I would like my offseason list to include the girl in the ring. Who is that?

[YearofDaCubs]

I would like my offseason list to include the girl in the ring. Who is that?

Maria Kanelis who now works for WWF. She won some contest and now works for them.

[Vinestal]

Im not so sure I'd want Burrell in RF unless your sure his foot is completely healed. Hendry thinks the world of Izzy so I doubt he thinks he needs to upgrade there (though I agree with you Id rather have Lugo). Getting Jennings would be nice, and I hope Hendry looks somewhere else other than Meche for a SP.

I know her and talk to her a few times a year. She is from Ottawa, IL where I live and she is smoking. She won that contest and the WWE kept her around.

She didn't win the Diva Search contest. That was won by Ashley Massaro that year. Maria finished 3rd or 4th.

You're my new hero! She's the only reason I press play while Fast-Forwarding through the rest of RAW.

 

* and btw, Maria is a good reason to hijack a thread. :twisted:

Wrong. She finished 5th in 2004; which was won by Christy Hemme (now a TNA Knockout). Ashley won in 2005.

You trash Meche and advocate Jennings? Did I miss something here?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Apparently. Jennings is coming off a good season, and has historically been held down by Coors field. Meche plays half his games in a huge pitcher's haven and sucks away from Safeco, and even worse he can't throw strikes(which wouldn't matter what park you're in).

Jennings home/away splits are no more different than any other pitcher in baseball. This is large overstatement.

 

So the entire hair-splitting difference between two more or less average pitchers is home/away splits? And Hendry deserves praise for considering one and being trashed for the other?

 

It seems an extreme position.

[b_wiggy_66]

Are you joking? Meche isn't even close to being in Jennings league. Jennings has pitched his entire career in Colorado. Last year while pitching in Colorado he had ERA well below 4 (3.78). How many people have done that in Coors? He also has pitched almost 200 innings every year hes been in the bigs. With his good sinker at Wrigley he could be damn good and dependable.

*******sorry, I confused Jennings and Westbrook***************

Again, Jennings home/away splits for his career show an average and expected differentiation. The ballpark factor here is being way overstated.

Not many, although it should be noted that pitching in Coors isn't as tough as it used to be, now that they've figured out a way to at least cut down on the altitude effect with the use of the humidor. His performance last year was anomolous compared to previous years, but at worst he has still been close to average. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to the Cubs acquiring him.

I think it is real dating.

[Wheelimus]

It's real. In storylines the closest to a girlfriend CM Punk would have would be Kelly Kelly, who is the manager of his current rival Mike Knox but who appears to have feelings for Punk.
