The thing is, trading Marquis and DeRosa didn't make us better. It made us worse.

 

 

I agree, but the key word is yet. Adding Bradley will help when you consider there losing those guys. If we add another good pitcher(doesn't have to just be Peavy), I think we will be better. But if we don't make anymore moves I think were just a little worse, and still a good team. Adding Peavy or another good pitcher then I'd we would be just as good as last year if not better. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens the rest of the offseason.

 

Adding Bradley isn't enough. He might be a slight upgrade overall from the DeRosa/Marquis duo, and I doubt that.

 

If we don't get a very good starter, I'm unhappy with these moves.

Paul Bako? Really? I need to stop not checking NSBB for a day or two then coming back. Because every time I do that I come back to news like this.

Any truth to the rumor that the money we freed up is going to be used to sign Burnitz for RF?

Only if Matt Stairs decides that Hendry's offer of 3/19 was a lowball and holds out for more.

That's usually a good bet, but if Roast is admitting guilt . . .

Is this a joke?

 

No seriously. Is this a joke?

 

It's better than Aaron Miles starting.

 

Not by much!

 

Can't wait for those games with Miles & Bako both starting too.

Miles, Bako, Theriot and Joey Gathright could all be in the same starting lineup this season!

It's amazing that a team with our payroll could even possibly field that lineup. For us, though, it's a likely occurence.

I'm expecting him to improve from the general crapiness of the previously mentioned (though if Theriot can repeat his .380+ OBP, I'll be ok with him, I guess).

I think Hendry's hiding the truth. The ol' kabash has been put on our payroll. Only way to explain this.

And it makes Miles' money even more inexcusable.

 

Very good point.

 

He's making in two years what DeRosa would make in one. I just realized that. :banghead:
