Absolutely not if it pushes Murton to the bench. -
1. Drop the guys you mention 2. Let Murton play every day

Len on Pierre
Ding Dong Johnson replied to The Voice of Reason's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I think I heard him in the background at Len's house... Did you hear the sounds that AIM makes when you get a new buddy message? That and I kept hearing "are you 100% sure?" over and over again... -
Will he get to wear #9, or was that retired in honor of Damon Buford?
-
Wilson and Duke for Cedeno and Patterson. We then take Wilson and ship him to the Pirates for Cedeno. Brilliant!

True in general, but is there any chance that Washington makes Livan available? I doubt it. They don't have the Expos payroll any longer, and he's relatively cheap as far as a front-line starter goes. I believe he's only owed ~$13 mil over the next 2 years.

I was glad Len put the couch down long enough to talk to Murph. He actually made me feel quite a bit better about the acquisition. I still think we could have done better, but I don't feel quite as bad... -
Rule 5 / 40 man question
Ding Dong Johnson replied to JGalt73's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Well, we were all wondering about that 40 man list a couple of weeks ago, and now some questions are answered. What happens if this "many for one" rumor actually happens? We could be looking at only having 33-34 on the 40 man. -
An attempt at the highest paid bullpen in all of baseball?
-
You had me until the part about having to like Murph. He's an idiot.
-
It will significantly lower his trade value when other teams get to see exactly how overrated he is.
-
Apprently the Mariners offered Millwood 44 million over 4 years. I don't think I could live with that. I can't find the link, but I'm pretty sure that report was not accurate.
-
... are better than one... (isn't that a song?)
-
C'mon, Jack had that stretch where he hit over .340 for a month or so a couple of years ago...
-
Well, Murph's on now. I'm sure he'll have some intelligent insight on what's going on... :lol:
-
He also broke the story about Pinto for Pierre. :lol: Edit: "3 weeks ago"
-
Phil Rodgers is on the Score right now, and absolutely ripping the Cubs for not having Walker in their plans for next year. Maybe he's not completely evil...
-
I think the Casey move had more to do with the fact that he was from the Pittsburgh area and not much more.
-
Yes please. Let's put an end to this. Somehow I've convinced myself that trading for Shawn Green would be the best thing since velcro.
-
If Walker is going to be traded, I take Soriano in a heartbeat if it means Neifi gets more time on the pine.
-
This offseason becomes really ugly if Walker is traded and his OBP is not replaced in that #2 spot.
-
Washington has serious doubts as to whether or not Vidro will ever come back, and if he does, they don't know if he'll be at all productive.

Interesting that you want proven power, but you also say no to a guy with 303 career HR's... Sammy has 588 career HR. Should we bring him back? I'm just trying to point out that career HR might not be the best measurement stick to use. Apples to oranges. Sammy is obviously at the end of his career and showed signs that he would not be able to hit a watermelon. Shawn Green has been extremely consistent over the years. His power numbers have dipped a bit, but he could still be counted on for 20-30 easily.

Interesting that you want proven power, but you also say no to a guy with 303 career HR's... The simple fact is Shawn Green hasn't been the same player ever since he has had shoulder problems. The past two years he has been a notorious slow starter so it's not interesting at all. Well OK, then I wasn't aware that he had injury problems. I can tolerate an older player, but not an older player with injury problems. I'd therefore have to go for A or B then, with the caveat that I don't want A for too long, and don't want him if he has past history of injury problems. Who are these dudes? He does not have a history of injury problems by any stretch of the imagination. Games played from 1998 - 2005: 158, 153, 162, 161, 158, 160, 157, 158
