Counsell. He's not good at all, yet he's still on a big league roster. And yes, his batting stance is the most ridiculous thing ever and he should be beat up for it.
*pinch* Crap, I'm not dreaming. This is a bad trade. Cherry and Moore were never going to be great in the majors, but they are both better than Trachsel. :x
As was Micah Owings. That one stung. I really liked Owings in the draft and was hoping the Cubs would spend the money. Oh well, at least they got Eric Patterson between the two. Most people seemed to think they wouldn't get both. I felt the same way. I was hoping we'd sign him, and was worried we'd end up with neither after Owings spurned us. Thankfully, EPatt signed.
A few years ago, Larry Walker, Cliff Floyd, Pedro Martinez, Moises Alou, and Randy Johnson would have made them pretty good. And they would currently have Grady Sizemore.
I thought for sure he retired a few years ago. Of course, a beating like this might warrant bringing pitchers out of retirement. I believe he came out of retirement this season. I think this game will send him right back.
Good hitter, but didn't get on base much and had average power. Not your typical middle of the order hitter. Wasn't a bad player in his prime, but he wasn't exactly a superstar either.
I can't wait for the ND game. One of my cousins went to ND and most of my family on my dad's side are ND fans. My dad is one of the few exceptions (he's a PSU fan). They were busting me about that game the other day, so I want something to brag about at the next family gettogether.
