    I'm ok with that. Then keep Walker. If I tried to agree with you more I'd end up pulling a Prior.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    I think you'd have to include him in a trade for Tejada.

    I've been saying it since the end of May...shut Prior down for the year. This season is so far from being worth pushing him out there it's not even funny. Do what needs to be done to let him heal and rehab, give him some minor league starts, but work with the idea that he does not need to be ready at ANY point this season. I don't give a crap what Prior can do this year...if he can get healthy, all I care about is the future. Pushing him out there now when he's clearly not healed from whatever the hell is going on is stupid and wrong and unecessary.

    Teets might get his ERA under 8 today! Boy howdy!

    What the hell team am I watching? First batter homers. Next batter walks on 4 straight pitches. Next batter hits a double. Next batter hits a beauty of a sac fly, scoring 1 runner and advancing the other to 3rd. Next batter executes a gem of a suicide squeeze that scores the runner on 3rd. WHAT TH-?!?

    That would be me. :) Where do they play? Jacques is tied up for another year, so unless we trade him, are we going to deal with the disaster that is Soriano at second base? Lee would obviously play in LF and Soriano's stellar offense has been proven...if he can hit like he is in a cavern like RFK, his offensive output at Wrigley would far more than make up for any defensive lackngs he has.

    Apparently he needs to be kept in a germ-free plastic bubble filled with training equipment and a practice mound in the off-season.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Please quote where that has happened.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    The whole damn team with the exception of Lee is what you described.

    It's no worse a strawman that "playing the game the right way", or having "heart". Yeah, those are pretty empty catch phrases, but it still doesn't discount being able to be frustrated with a player who has shown he can be an all star playing this bad for this long, clearly dogging it multiple times on the field, and nothing seems to change.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Why is it when people get frustrated with a players very noticeable flaws remaining problems are only "blaming that player for this team being so bad?" It's such a massive strawman. Aramis has the talent...we've all seen it. It's frustrating when it gets buried like it has this year, and that's no because a lot of us think he's terrible...we know he can do it and succeed. Again, frustration...not blaming.

    No kidding, Mrs. Hill. Guzman I can understand. Congrats on being first in line for the crap-ladeling Rich Hill bandwagon. He should be pitching before retched wreckage like Rusch. AAA All-Star needs to get someone out at the major league level and maybe even earn a mlb win before he turns 35. If another team really was interested in him before Hendry is an IDIOT FOR NOT DEALING HIM QFFT I'll take a bloated, 60-year-old Maddux before I have to endure another Rich Hill start. That said, I still think he has some use. Get that man to the bullpen and show him off and ship him off!
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Both. No excuses.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, you leave Augie out of this!
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Trading Walker unless a dynamite replacement can be had is stupid.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Only 4 in Premium. That's not very Premium. If I'm paying, this thread needs to be stomped and hurled into an alley where it can be peed on by bums and laughed at by children.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Weather? :sunny: Weather, whatever. Sunny if we win. KC won 11 out of 16. Another reason for hope. That's not a sign for hope. What good is 11/16 when you are still just 30-54? It's just a sign that any crap team can have short bursts of decent results, but they are still very likely to remain a crap team when all is said and done. I don't believe we have a crap team. Ours is the team on the NORTHside of town.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Damn, man, what the funk happened? Maddux was cruising through the first four...
  19. Sammy Sofa
    To be fair, Capuano is pretty friggin' good.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    But this is the slippery slope. Who plays CF for 2007? Would this force Hendry to sign Pierre to an extension? Would Hendry be comfortable with Pagan in CF for a year? If Hendry came through and did his job and signed Carlos Lee for LF and traded for Abreu in RF, I'd have no problem with Pagan taking up the bulk of time in CF. He's got the speed and his offensive numbers are a much better fit there than in either corners.

    The "dark age" hasn't passed since 1907.

    That's...optimistic? While I definitely agree that the post you were replying to was suggesting a deal that absurdly overpaid, your deal is sort of, well, ridiculous. I know the scuttlebutt is that the fans and maybe the organization up there are pissed at/tired of him, but they're nowhere near hating him enough to essentially dump one of the greatest hitters in the game's history for what you're talking about. Maybe it's not enough. I'm just saying you give what the Yankee's what they need which is OF help and pitching. Maybe you add Eyre, or Williamson. Maybe you add Walker. But you don't trade the farm and your starting OF for one guy. Right. Which is why I would trade Jacque, Aramis, Wood and a reliever for him with the idea he'd still play 3rd in Chicago. Plug Pagan/Mabry/Nevin into RF for the rest of the year with the idea (hopefully) that the team would be going after someone like Abreu for next year.

    Oh. My. God.

    It was just a brief rumor and now we're running over it for fun...what else is there to do this season?
