what? garland and blanton are WAY better options than dempster and marquis marquis needs to be the 5th man for this team to succeed...it isn't going to happen if he is our 4th
Trading for Bedard strengthens this team more than trading for Roberts. Of course it does, but trading for Bedard requires a lot more in prospects. so since we are not going to be able to land bedard or santana (that was just for laughs) what are our real possibilities at rotation addition? clement and colon? will we actually be able to give up enough without giving up pie to reign in blanton? i would think that beane would like a murton type...but i guess he will be going for roberts... blah...sorry...i know i say it a lot guys...but...we need another bloody pitcher already!
give that kid a chance too...i am secretly praying he wins the job during ST...anybody but theriot... is fontenot still on the team because if he is he shouldn't be
I'd give him a low-base pay, incentive-laden contract without question. me too anything besides dempster...fukudome had me so excited until i remembered that dempster was still slotted to start in 08... then my hopes were dashed! #-o
silva/colon/hernandez...whatever... you guys do realize that dempster really isn't a good option right? and even if we upgrade at short...we will still be lacking where it really counts?
exactly, look at tulo last season...he started off horrible...but hurdle said that he was going to stick with him and in about a month or so he started to hit... i firmly believe pie needs the same situation...just give him some time...it is the only way to find out if he is going to be as good as we all think he could be
