    haha, E3. Pierre on 1st, no outs.
  2. MeatampPotatoesMan
    Pierre doesn't know how to get a good jump when stealing a base?

    I wish Carroll would have explained how Wood missing a week to 10 days b/c of knee surgery costs him a month. :?

    #1 Oh, and I'd prefer a winning team, no matter how it happened.

    Can somebody explain to me how playing LF would make him more valuable? He's a good hitting 2B, but as an OF, he's hardly special. It's not that hard to find a decent OF bat, it is hard to find a good 2B bat. If he was a utility man, I could see the flexibility as something that could add to his value. But his next team is not going to be paying him to be a utility man. They are going to pay him because of what he did as an everyday middle infield. If he gets 10-12m per in a multi-year deal, he'd be highly overpaid as a OF. I was going to ask the same thing. Vance and I were discussing that a while back. I just don't see it. I kind of think Soriano is justified in his demands. i don't remember him approving the trade in the first place and then the new team (which he has no loyalty to whatsoever at this point) asks him to give up a couple million dollars in FA by changing position? He hasn't handled it very well, but he could have a legitimate gripe.

    He knows that. I read a quote from him a few weeks back where he talked about how changing from a starter to a reliever changed his outlook on pitching. As a starter he always felt he could recover from a wild start and took more chances on the edge of the strike zone. As a reliever, he commented the games over if he gives up runs, so he started pounding the strike zone more. If you examine his 2005 splits, his K/BB ratio, BB/Inn, and BAA were all far better as a reliever. He was better, but he still walked 4.16 guys per 9 innings as a reliever. Prior knew he was nibbling to much last year and still didn't get it figured out. It's one thing to "know" something and another to put it into practice effectively. I love Dempster, but don't set the bar too high.
  7. MeatampPotatoesMan
    Dempster's problem isn't adding another pitch, it's walking way too many batters.

    That "excess bullpen arm" would have to be named Prior or Zambrano for that deal to be done. Um, as they're trying to cut payroll down there, probably not. I agree that it would take more than that proposed trade to get it done though. I really don't know if we have the package to beat everyone else out for Miggy or Willis should they truly hit the trade market.
  9. MeatampPotatoesMan
    That's what I was thinking too.
  10. MeatampPotatoesMan
    I don't know what Hairston's medical condition is after that HBP, but Walker isn't going anywhere for the immediate future.
  11. MeatampPotatoesMan
    Maybe Kruk isn't as stoopid as I thought.
  12. MeatampPotatoesMan
    I've never been to impressed with Novoa. Give me Farnsworth anyday.
  13. MeatampPotatoesMan
    GRAB SOME PINE, MEAT!!!

    i thought that was ARam sliding for a moment. :shock: I was about to cry.
  15. MeatampPotatoesMan
    It must be the dry air. :lol:
  16. MeatampPotatoesMan
    hahahaha, making fun of the fans is awesome.
  17. MeatampPotatoesMan
    Howry isn't looking too great.
  18. MeatampPotatoesMan
    Barrett and Hill would be a recipe for disaster.
  19. MeatampPotatoesMan
    noice work, scotty.
  20. MeatampPotatoesMan
    sounds plausible.
  21. MeatampPotatoesMan
    shades of Dubois. :shock:
  22. MeatampPotatoesMan
    nice K, Eyre.

    Murton will be moved before Pierre. Pierre's on a one-year ride, right? I don't know, he just smells like "bust" to me. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'd rather not mess around if he stinks. You'd move Murton before Pierre, even if Murton was producing and Pierre wasn't? We gave up some decent arms for him. He's not a rental. I'm not a big fan of Pierre either, but Hendry and the old schoolers love him.
  24. MeatampPotatoesMan
    Murton will be moved before Pierre.
  25. MeatampPotatoesMan
    smart move, settling for the double.
