what is this love affair with weaver. has he put up the numbers that warrants this superstar attraction from other posters? he is with the yanks and look at the numbers.

Those are 5 huge games, IMO. Think about it, there are less than 60 games left in the season, we need every game we can get. getting a 5 th start is very important right now. we need someone who will go out there every 5 th game and give us a chance to win.

wow, i am surprise that he is available if it is true. he reminded me of jaret wright of the old cle indians. now look at him.

let me ask you this, do you think that any of the fan interferrence was b/c they didn't want lance to win.

no according to espn, lance was mention that he learned from this yr tour and he will train even harder next yr tour.

not if you think you could sign him to a contract. you do not want to go to the last second trying to sign him and then it is too late. mags is one option to get better fast and quicky. is it going to happen prob not. but i am open to listen. if losing mags brings in lets say real several solid pitchers one who could be a phenom i would listen. i am talking about the situation we are in now. ref to garland, i am not wanting to trade him b/c of anything, but if he can be part of the deal that will bring in a player, that means recieving a player that can help now. i am alll for it. ( i mean recieving a starting pitcher in return. )

but at vlad money?

outfield

i didn't know about the age of mike and brian being 29 and 30.

who would want botch in a deal? only a team that is in desperate situation and i only see that coming from stl. still if we help them with a prospect or 2 and give them salary help for his contract, and ask for a pitcher we might pull off a deal.

could he develop a little power as he progress thru the ranks?

well its been mention for the last 2 month that botch been on the block. a 4 man rotation will not work but we may no choice in order to make the playoff. we do need another starter but at what cost, with kw at the helm, anything is possible in over paying.

you are right and as i said this lost show were our weakness is at and do you really think that kw is capable of doing the right deal i blame jm for starting brian d among other things tonite

that will be a sweet deal for both teams. i can't see beating this deal. oh well.

look at my post in the the sticky area where i mention this fact. boy you are obvious tonite uh.

liefer has nothing to do with this at the time of sign brian d. he was traded and was out of the scene. a good gm would see how to improve the team and actually do improve the team. how many times has kw f*** up on a trade or something.

we have a deep farm, not enuf that can help now, but a lot of prospects we can use. beane, cashman, are not afraid of using some of there upper level and mid level prospects to improve on this yr now attitude.

not if he wants to play somewhere else and said so. this was last week with sd. his new agents said that when he is available he would like to play somewhere in the west coast. here is a time to get your best return for him. you trade him now that will help you get to the playoff and more. you get 3 pitchers 2 who is now pitching in the majors to help with another as a super prospect. garland can be used if you have to, someone who can get you that elusive mp and pitching that can help now. but it would be hard for me to trade him. in the offseason anything is possible and no one could be untouchable. the stupid part is to think that we should keep everyone and not use players to make the team better. what is even more stupid is to criticize something without know the reason. and what is more stupid is to have a norrow mind.

yeah i could see all the clubs lining up to sign him to a nice deal, more than what we gave him. 400,000

exactly and in the playoff, some teams have gone with a 4 man rotation. we need some support from the 5 starter most importantly we need at least 2 rp.

as i mention in another post, we make a trade for a player or 2 with tpa, we send them cash, 1 or 2mil which is what is rumored to sign young, and we get jesus colume(sp) we can give them a prospect or 2 and recieve the negoation right to let say my player who i am really high on, there 3 rounder a miller. we help them in many ways and we get some help as well. the money can be use to sign there 1 rounder, a pick they haven't been able to sign in several yrs.

interesting. but it jm fault for giving loyalty.

i don't know, i think a trade is in the making. i wish hsc was here, i would like to know who is kw or that person will be thinking about. if kw is behind it, we are going to over pay. i don't overpaying if it is for a superstar that will get us there.

there farm system is really in bad shape. i don;t know enuf to be able to make a decision on who and what is good in the stl farm

i missed it, what was said
