I STILL LOVE YOU JOE CREDE 2005 NEVER FORGET

i think i uttered hawk's exact voice inflection on the Crede "he gone"

Well i suppose we dont have to get batters out....ok 1 down

we can get to blackburn

Hawk sounds on the verge of breakdown

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 07:13 PM) BTW, it took Hawk two batters to mention Carlos Gomez. It's going to be a tough night for Hawkeroo, I feel for him.

everyone takes things out on Walk, but really so many of these guys are apparently doing their own thing. You never hear about a really detailed compliment of how Walk has helped. As a corollary , i dont think we should blame him as violently as we sometimes do either.

i cant believe our defense is actually about to get worse.

If Coop can fix everyone, why do we even discuss individual pitchers? Theyre all just one large moving mass of CoopCanFixEm

Beckham is going to deliver so many RBIs-per-dollar for this franchise. For a long while. He's goin nowhere.

Does anyone else get the irritating feeling that Floyd would either be involved in this deal or (more likely) shipped elsewhere to save a little dough back? Actually i suppose to save $ in the current year maybe Contreras would be out for prospects? In a playoff series Jose would be a reliever, and has shown disdain for bullpen work in the past

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) For a 20 year old adjusting to US pro ball in his first year, I'd actually say that's not terrible. But errors is not a good measure here, I'd want to hear from someone who has seen him play, how he looks out there. As far as fielding though, is there a big disparity between Cuba and US? I would think in Cuba there are fewer scalding shots down the line, but still enough of them to where one can ascertain whether they can handle the intricacies of the position or not.

This reminds me of the Jeremy Reed thing, and hopefully turns out the same way. I think he was roughly 23 at the time...and it was kind of like, lets get something more sure. Said:may Reed go on and do whatever he's going to do in the game. And lo and behold he fizzled. This coming after he was a lot more impresive than Allen in AA, even as a 22 year old. Was solid but not spectacular in AAA. Reed of course had the bloated trade value because he's a position of need, not 1b/lf/dh Man just looking at Reed on baseball cube, he must be one of those terribly frustrating guys to have. It looks like each time he has been sent down to AAA in pockets over the last few years, he has torn it up. Then comes back up and reverts.

I love Alexei, but his greatest value is to us. That OBP and his defense is eyebrow raising enough for other teams, but we've seen his clutchness first hand to feel that contract is still a steal somehow.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 01:33 PM) The Brewers gave up Matt LaPorta for 0.75 of a year of CC Sabathia. I personally think a deal with Poreda and Flowers in it can be competitive and doesnt destroy us. Poreda and Richard got it done for a big name guy (who albeit had 3.80 ish ERA in the NL). Granted there was a little more of a lame duck situation with Peavy. But Peavy's younger than Halladay too.
