Maybe i am the only one, but wouldn't you rather have shields start instead of sele? It is a no brainer to me.

David wells have 20 in 195 and 2/3 innings.

I agree with you...

Because while they are taught they are not stressed.

While he is 29 and very earlier on in his major league career he seems to be damn good. Here are his career stats.. Innings pitched-309.2 Hits against-273 Home runs allowed-22 k/9- 7.38 17-11 in his career. .236 baa. Whip-1.22 Era-2.85.

It is an amazing difference from last year. Last year he gave up more hits than innings pitched, walked 77 in only 126 and 2/3 innings while posting a 5.47 era.

I find it hard to beleive they would deal shields for a player that only has one year on his contract. They are also not exactly loaded with good starters which he will be again next year.

Won't davanon be filling in for guillen next year since it is likely he will be dealt? Also thought this pretty weird. This year against he has hit .136 against lefties. Last year he hit .342 against lefties last year.

His high for at-bats in a season 330 and he is nearly 31. You want him to be the replacement for maggs? Why?

That makes alot of sense, probally the way it should happen if we do happen to get vizquel. Then we would have a very solid lead-off and 2 hole hitter.

Rolen is not putting up mvp type numbers or anything. Also third base is a much harder position to fill then left field.

Wow eight pages for the uribe trade, alot more than i would have thought. Anyways people seem have either not liked it, liked it, or just didn't care about it really. Pretty evenly spilt in it seems.

Would you start willie at second uribe at third and vizquel at short. Or uribe at second crede at third and vizquel at short. Lastly would you just platoon willie and uribe while crede is at third a vizquel at short?

Belliard was just a name a through out there but i should have mentioned walker because he has proven himself about ten times more than belliard.

In my last post i basically retracted that any improvement at second base would not be needed if they only got a lead-off or two hole hitter so that willie could slide down into the 9 hole.

One year of willie is enough for me. Seems like we know what he can do already. Can't bunt and seems to scared to stealand not agressive enough on the base paths. He gets really hot for 3-4 games and then slump for the next ten. I don't dislike willie harris but i don't like the fact he was suppose to be our lead-off hitter to begin the year. Kw really needed to find a lead-off or number two hitter so that willie could be batting 9th.

You are telling me that you thought willie would be able to put up numbers as good if not better than belliards career numbers before this year. Because i know i sure didn't and i know plenty of people felt the same way. Last year and the year before willie looked totally over matched. I didn't see any reasons to believe he would be the same or better than belliard this year.

Do you know his era when he does not win? That is why people do not like him. I am perfectly fine with him only if he is our 5th starter.

Ya ,i have never heard of that either.

He played 27 in right and 10 in left. So at least you are not going crazy.

That is exactly what i have heard the o's want to do. Package hairston and julio together to get someone pretty good. Hairston has played 15 games in center and that is where he broke it while making a leaping catch at the wall.

They have wanted to trade one of hairston or roberts all year long. Even after hairston was doing so well. Honestly cannot tell you why though.

I would love to have him but seems like alot of people on here don't because he is old. But he is still hitting 98 consistently.

There are rumors out there that julio will be traded this year and then ryan will slide into the closers role. I have never liked urbina closing, always thought he was an excellent set-up man though. While marte has closed in the past he is very not good at it.

Only team i can see that happening to is the twins. Because they just have so much f***ing talent in the minors and they have already brought up alot of players that are producing at the big league level.
