What about hitting? Lilly hasn't had to pick up a bat except in Interleague games.

 

"He likes to hit," O'Brien said. "Jim Hendry was saying, 'Tell Ted we're still not finished. We're going to go out and get a good left-handed bat.' And Ted said, 'Why? You've got me.' He likes to think he can hit."

well, Daryle Ward isn't BAD...

[Shilzzz]

well the word 'good' rules out floyd :wink:

The only position left is CF. How many guys are available who would be an offensive upgrade over Jones and are left-handed? Anyone? Potentially Baldelli or Crawford.

[Balsa]

well the word 'good' rules out floyd :wink:

We can only hope. :|

[PrimeTime]

Id probably cry if we got Crawford..To bad the rays horrible to trade with

Baldelli's a righty and Crawford is supposeduly unavailable.

Oh, then nevermind.

[Soul]

Yeah, I posted this before. Not long after, Ward was signed. I hope that's not what Hendry meant.

[Allroy]

Please Jim, find a way to get Crawford. Do whatever it takes. I have a feeling that kid is going to be one of the best in the game in the next couple years.

[Rob]

If he wasn't talking about Ward, he's talking about Floyd.

[David]

Church?

David DeJesus. Though I'm not sure if he's a good defensive CF or not. More of a doubles guy who draws a few walks.

There are actually two positions left.

Sadly Hendry does not see it that way and he runs the team. He loves Izturis.

I don't think Hendry agrees with you.

Like he said, 2B...

[snoodmonger]

i think hendry is comfy with Izzy at SS, but I also think he'd be willing to upgrade if an opportunity arose. I just don't know how actively he's looking. JMO.

We already have an upgrade for Izzy at SS, his name is Ryan Theriot.
