QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 02:47 AM) Ozzie's never wrong. Ozzie's also never biased. You should know that by now. And the same cannot be said for you?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 02:43 AM) X-Factors? What? Is his OBP of under .300 last year, and this year, an X-Factor? Is his ability to play a s***ty first-base an x-factor? Mercy, Perez is one of the worst players in all of baseball, and he's making a million f***ing bucks. It's such a joke that he's on our major league team. Give me a f***ing break, this would be such a terrible, God awful move. And, I guess it proves that performance doesn't mean a damn thing, because Harris has played so much better than Perez has. Maybe Harris is on his way out in a trade. Maybe there are some clubhouse issues.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 02:36 AM) Yeah, we already know that Timo is Ozzie's personal fluffer in the dugout. And if that helps us to continue winning, then I'm all for it. It's real easy to think you're right without considering all the details you and I don't have, but that doesn't make it so. I think it makes more sense to keep Willie up as well. However, I'm not going to cry about it when we are playing good baseball, and if that is what Ozzie feels more comfortable with. Again, it's not like we couldn't flip flop the players whenever we felt like it. Both have options left. It's not the end of the world. I hate to see what you guys will do if he gets traded.

QUOTE(doUrememberwhen @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) OZZIE IS S-T-U-P-I-D, no reason to even think about this Willie>>>>Timo, but I guess Ozzie never thinks anyways. What a f***ing douchebag. Again, no one is considering the X factors that may exist in this decision.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 02:19 AM) My response to that would be a quote from football. "You're in the NFL; which stands for 'Not For Long' when you keep pulling s*** like that." - Jerry Glanville Well with the best record in baseball and just signing an extension, I don't think he needs to be overly worried about who gets sent down as a career ending decision. Especially since no matter who it is, the decision can be reversed by simply sending the one down and recalling the other.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 01:40 AM) The same Ozuna that's averaging about 50 feet per hit this year. Hell, he'd be perfect if he was batting in a hit-and-run situation. However, if Iguchi were to suffer an injury that would keep him out for more than a day or so, I'd be much more confident with Willie at 2nd base than I would Ozuna. But if Iguchi went down, they could still call Willie back up. Ozuna is fine for the spot start at second.

Obviously some people are very upset about the idea of Harris being optioned. However, it should be noted that nothing has been publicly stated that this is indeed what will happen. Harris is just preparing himself for the possibility. Maybe Harris gets traded prior to any of this becoming necessary. Maybe Timo is the one sent down. Maybe they keep Gload down until he gets his full arm strength (although it seems that could take quite a while, and it doesn't seem to be affecting his bat.) I feel Timo has the ability to be clutch as we've seen numerous times, although I would rather keep Willie as well. We'll see what happens, but let's not jump off the bridge just yet. We're still in first.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) I stopped reading after you said timo can play the outfield and first base. Good one. Actually I did too.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:59 PM) Gload>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>timo. Gload was on the DL, I have no problem having Gload as the first left handed option off the bench. Doesn't necessarily mean I would have Harris over Timo. The situation would have to dictate.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 12:00 AM) This is f***ing ridiculous. I can't believe anybody would want Timo over Willie, but what would I know...Willie's only better. Nobody said Willie doesn't have value or isn't "better" than Timo. They serve different roles. Timo is more clutch off the bench than Harris, but Harris provides more versatility. The point is, Harris probably has his days numbered on our club. The fact that you choose to ignore this is f***ing ridiculous.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:57 PM) He is are main bat off the bench? Something is wrong with that picture. Should be far and away gload followed by either willie or ozuna. Why?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) I know of 1 game at least when he couldn't hit a sac fly with 1 out and a man on 3rd base. Okay then, he's won two games for us and lost one. He's over .500.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) Then what about the many more other times where he's hurt the team? How many of those cost us the game?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:53 PM) This is a f***ing joke. Timo Perez is batting .197 and he's had plenty of at-bats. He sucks and he gets a random hit and he's f***ing clutch? When his f***ing hit helps win the game, yes, that means he's clutch.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:47 PM) Maybe you forget that this is no longer last year. Well I guess have the team should be kicked off in order to make room for those who are hot now.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:47 PM) I remember. Timo was clutch as hell last season and I loved him. This year he's been a s***bag. He homered against Minnesota to help win the game, and he won the game Monday. Oh but one time he didn't get the sac fly.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) Nobody's overreacting. Timo hasn't been clutch this year and he's been hurting the team consistantly, whereas Harris has been batting well, getting walks, and providing good speed off of the bench (and he can also play the IF and OF well). Timo can't even play defense well. Timo has been clutch, and as far as his defense is concerned, the guy can't first base. So what. That's why we need Gload.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) He must have forgottten when Timo couldn't hit a sac fly with a man on 3rd earlier in the season. He just remembers Monday's game. Maybe you were missing last year, but Timo was on the team and he certainly provided clutch hitting.

Timo has provided some solid clutch hitting with his time on the club. I think many of you are overreacting. Besides, with Iguchi on the team, it's still likely that Harris will get dealt at some point.

I like the new Rowand commercial.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) I'm with you...I'm a huge FRank fan and want him as our DH...but for less money,so we can put other players around him and win. I would love to see Frank get a ring...here! I hope and believe he wants that more than anything right now as well.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) I think it's an interesting debate, that's all. Lee is having a mammoth season, Ramirez is certainly a better 3b option than Crede, Nomar is a seriously SS upgrade, Walker is a good offensive 2b, and the Starters are really close comparitively. Their defense up the middle is weak with those guys. That's surely worth considering knowing we've won many games from our defense.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) That is, if Frank will accept a reduced contract. He may be getting tired of the BS. I like Frank, and would definitely want him back next year. Not at $10 mill though, that would be BS.

I think the only thing limiting this guy's potential is his own demons, which I feel will be less of a factor as he matures more. With our closer problems in the past, how great would it be to have a dominant one waiting in the minors.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 22, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) Erubiel Durazo is an option. He would mash at the Cell too.
