[Vanilla Ice]

Im loving Len and Bob today

[dew1679666265]

Ronny Cedeno.

 

would not be much, if any, of an upgrade most likely.

\

 

Sure would be nice to try and give him a shot, instead of basing all our conclusions on his past

 

I'd be ok with Cedeno, but I don't think he's the answer at short either.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Erstad struck out swinging , 2-3

Let's try Micah Hoffpauir at first. Lee's just coasting on his reputation!

 

What the hell are you talking about? Thats not even close to the same thing, and if you think it is, well you arent very smart.

[weis21]

That "who got off to the hottest start" poll is mindnumbingly stupid. Also, Len trying to speak japanese was hilarious.

 

They specialize in asking questions that they already know the answer to. I loved the " best story of Spring Training" Question. Wood closing won in a landslide. One option was Marquis winning the 5th starter spot, I found that hilarious.

None of us know if he is or isnt, but we all know for an absolute fact, that Ryan Theriot is not the answer.

I really hope that this is the Zambrano we see for the remainder of the season.

If Cedeno is the answer, the question is not "who is the shortstop for a contending team?". Give it up. He is not as great as you make him out to be. Stop pining for his return to the lineup and the accompanying basepath outs.

[Warpticon]

I'm waiting for Soriano to catch a fly ball while clicking his heels together in midair.

[Vanilla Ice]

So, are we going to pinch hit for Z here?

 

I would

[javy knows my name]

How many pitches did Z throw there?

[Brian]

I'm liking Z's lack of BB

Hence why I'd be ok with Ronny, but not chomping at the bit for him to get playing time.

Theriot also isnt the answer, and saying Cedeno isnt, based on what he did in the ML's at a very young age is flat out ignorant.

He's a better option than Theriot. He has had more success in the minor leagues than Theriot. He has a higher ceiling than Theriot. Quite frankly, I think he's just as good as Theriot at this moment in time. There are better shortstops out there than him, but Theriot is not one of them.

 

So, no, I won't give it up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco flied out to center field

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zambrano only at 82 pitches. He's good for one more inning.

[dew1679666265]

I would

 

Really? He's been pitching fine.

Im chomping at the bit of seeing somebody different given a chance. We have seen Theriot enough to know hes not the answer, lets try something different.

Snap it like a twig, Z!

I'm confident in our bullpen as long as Howry does not pitch and it would be nice to keep him well-rested.

 

Moot point now

I want to see someone I feel will be successful. That is neither Theriot nor Cedeno.
